We study the general twisted intertwining operators (intertwining operators among twisted modules) for a vertex operator algebra $V$. We give the skew-symmetry and contragredient isomorphisms between spaces of twisted intertwining operators…
We take first steps toward a theory of ``conformal twists'' for superconformal field theories in dimension 3 to 6, extending the well-known analysis of twists for supersymmetric theories. A conformal twist is a square-zero odd element in…
We associate to an arbitrary positive root $\alpha$ of a complex semisimple finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mfrak{g}$ a twisting endofunctor $T_\alpha$ of the category of $\mfrak{g}$-modules. We apply this functor to generalized Verma…
We establish rigid tensor category structure on finitely-generated weight modules for the subregular $W$-algebras of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ at levels $ - n + \frac{n}{n+1}$ (the $\mathcal{B}_{n+1}$-algebras of Creutzig-Ridout-Wood) and at levels…
In this paper, we study $G$-equivariant tensor categories for a finite group $G$. These categories were introduced by Turaev under the name of $G$-crossed categories; the motivating example of such a category is the category of twisted…
We analyze the algebraic structures of G--Frobenius algebras which are the algebras associated to global group quotient objects. Here G is any finite group. These algebras turn out to be modules over the Drinfeld double of the group ring…
Twisted commutative algebras (tca's) have played an important role in the nascent field of representation stability. Let A_d be the complex tca freely generated by d indeterminates of degree 1. In a previous paper, we determined the…
We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ``conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…
The purpose of this paper is to make the theory of vertex algebras trivial. We do this by setting up some categorical machinery so that vertex algebras are just ``singular commutative rings'' in a certain category. This makes it easy to…
The purpose of this paper is to generalize Zhu's theorem about characters of modules over a vertex operator algebra graded by integer conformal weights, to the setting of a vertex operator superalgebra graded by rational conformal weights.…
We conjecture that the category of permutation-twisted modules for a multi-fold tensor product vertex operator superalgebra and a cyclic permutation of even order is isomorphic to the category of parity-twisted modules for the underlying…
We introduce a notion of strongly C^{\times}-graded, or equivalently, C/Z-graded generalized g-twisted V-module associated to an automorphism g, not necessarily of finite order, of a vertex operator algebra. We also introduce a notion of…
Twisted current algebras are fixed point subalgebras of current algebras under a finite group action. Special cases include equivariant map algebras and twisted forms of current algebras. Their finite-dimensional simple modules fall into…
Let $A$ be a connected commutative $\C$-algebra with derivation $D$, $G$ a finite linear automorphism group of $A$ which preserves $D$, and $R=A^G$ the fixed point subalgebra of $A$ under the action of $G$. We show that if $A$ is generated…
Let $Z \subset \mathbb{A}^k$ be an affine scheme over $\C$ and $\J Z$ its jet scheme. It is well-known that $\mathbb{C}[\J Z]$, the coordinate ring of $\J Z$, has the structure of a commutative vertex algebra. This paper develops the…
A twisted commutative algebra is (for us) a commutative $\mathbf{Q}$-algebra equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group. In such algebras the "$\mathbf{GL}$-prime" ideals assume the duties fulfilled by prime ideals in…
In this paper, we use the twisted regular representation theory of vertex operator algebras to construct bimodules over twisted Zhu algebras, extending Haisheng Li's work in untwisted scenarios. Moreover, a conjecture of Dong and Jiang on…
Let G be a reductive group (over an algebraically closed field) equipped with the metaplectic data. In this paper we study the corresponding twisted Whittaker category for G. We construct and study a functor from the latter category to the…
We construct and classify $(1 \; 2 \; \cdots \; k)$-twisted $V^{\otimes k}$-modules for $k$ even and $V$ a vertex operator superalgebra. In particular, we show that the category of weak $(1 \; 2 \; \cdots \; k)$-twisted $V^{\otimes…
We use a result of Barron, Dong and Mason to give a natural isomorphism between the category of twisted modules and the category of quasi-modules of a certain type for a general vertex operator algebra.
