Representations of vertex operator algebras $V$ (VOAs) have numerous applications, including the construction of sheaves of conformal blocks on moduli spaces of curves. For a $V$-module $W = \oplus W_d$, a sequence of associative algebras…

We investigate a one-point restriction of conformal blocks on $(\mathbb{P}^1,\infty,1,0)$ associated with modules over a vertex operator algebra. By restricting the module attached to the point $\infty$ to its bottom degree, we obtain a new…

Modules over a vertex operator algebra V give rise to sheaves of coinvariants on moduli of stable pointed curves. If V satisfies finiteness and semi-simplicity conditions, these sheaves are vector bundles. This relies on factorization, an…

We give criteria for determining the positivity of line bundles coming from vertex operator algebras (VOAs) on the moduli space $\overline{\mathrm{M}}_{0,n}$ of rational curves with $n$ marked points. The criteria use the multiplicative…

We study a vertex operator algebra containing a tensor product of Ising models. It is a direct sum of code vertex operator algebra and its irreducible modules. Therefore, we classify all irreducible modules of code vertex operator algebras…

Let $V_1 \otimes V_2$ be a tensor product of VOAs. Using Zhu theory we discuss the theory of representations of V (associative algebra, modules and fusion rules). We prove that this theory is more or less the same as representation theory…

In several examples it has been observed that a module category of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) is equivalent to a category of representations of some quantum group. The present article is concerned with developing such a duality in the…

The well-known modular property of the torus characters and torus partition functions of (rational) vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and 2d conformal field theories (CFTs) has been an invaluable tool for studying this class of theories. In…

These notes survey the theory of (twisted) conformal blocks from an algebro-geometric perspective and have two main goals. The first one is to summarize the construction of conformal blocks from vertex operator algebras, and to describe…

Based on any chiral vertex operator algebra satisfying a suitable finiteness condition, the semisimplicity of the zero-mode algebra as well as a regularity for induced modules, we construct conformal field theory over the projective line…

By a pointed vertex operator algebra (VOA) we mean one whose modules are all simple currents (i.e. invertible), e.g. lattice VOAs. This paper systematically explores the interplay between their orbifolds and tensor category theory. We begin…

Unitary vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and conformal nets are the two most prominent mathematical axiomatizations of two-dimensional unitary chiral conformal field theories. They are conjectured to be equivalent, but a rigorous comparison…
