In this article, a large class of simple modules over the Schr\"odinger-Virasoro algebra $\mathcal{G}$ are constructed, which include highest weight modules and Whittaker modules. These modules are determined by the simple modules over the…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions of irreducibility of vacuum modules over affine Lie algebras and superalgebras. From this we derive conditions of simplicity of minimal W-algebras. Moreover, in the case of Virasoro and…

Using the Zhu algebra for a certain category of $\mathbb{C}$-graded vertex algebras $V$, we prove that if $V$ is finitely $\Omega$-generated and satisfies suitable grading conditions, then $V$ is rational, i.e. has semi-simple…

We show that there are four chiral ${\cal W}$-algebra extensions of $\mathfrak{so}(2,3)$ algebra and construct them explicitly. We do this by a simple identification of each of the inequivalent embeddings of a copy of…

The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of 2D conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an…

In this paper, we study non-weight modules over gap-$p$ Virasoro algebras, including Whittaker modules, $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{C} L_0)$-free modules and their tensor products. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for universal…

We study strongly graded vertex algebras and their strongly graded modules, which are conformal vertex algebras and their modules with a second, compatible grading by an abelian group satisfying certain grading restriction conditions. We…

In this paper, a condition making vertex operator superalgebras to be unitary is determined and an analogue of conformal spin-statistics theorem in conformal field theory is proved. As an application of these results, it is proved that…

The category of weight modules $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\text{-wtmod}$ of the simple affine vertex algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at an admissible level $k$ is neither finite nor semisimple and modules are usually not lower-bounded and have…

We show that direct limit completions of vertex tensor categories inherit vertex and braided tensor category structures, under conditions that hold for example for all known Virasoro and affine Lie algebra tensor categories. A consequence…

Coset constructions of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras have many applications, and were recently given for principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras of $A$, $D$, and $E$ types by Arakawa together with the first and third authors. In this paper, we give coset…

We show that various actions of topological conformal theories that were suggested recentely are particular cases of a general action. We prove the invariance of these models under transformations generated by nilpotent fermionic generators…

We find out that some unitary minimal models of the N=1 ${\cal SW}(3/2,2)$ superconformal algebra can be realized as the level one coset models based on the Wolf spaces $SU(n)/(SU(n-2)\times SU(2))$. We obtain the expression of the…

We study modularity of the characters of a vertex (super)algebra equipped with a family of conformal structures. Along the way we introduce the notions of rationality and cofiniteness relative to such a family. We apply the results to…

A regular vertex operator algebra is a vertex operator algebra such that any weak module (without grading) is a direct sum of ordinary irreducible modules. In this paper we give several sufficient conditions under which a rational vertex…
