Lie conformal algebras are useful tools for studying vertex operator algebras and their representations. In this paper, we establish close relations between Poisson conformal algebras and representations of Lie conformal algebras. We also…

We show that the construction of vertex algebras from Costello-Gwilliam factorization algebras on $\mathbb{C}$ can be achieved without the discreteness condition on the weight spaces. Furthermore, we construct locally constant factorization…

We propose a generalization of the factorization method to the case when $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite dimensional Lie algebra such that $\mathcal{G}=\mathcal{G}_0\oplus M \oplus N$ (direct sum of vector spaces), where $\mathcal{G}_0$ is a…

Certain vertex algebras and Lie algebras arising in superstring theory are investigated. We show that the Fock space of a compactified Neveu-Schwarz superstring, i.e. a Neveu-Schwarz superstring moving on a torus, carries the structure of a…

We introduce categories of weak factorization algebras and factorization spaces, and prove that they are equivalent to the categories of ordinary factorization algebras and spaces, respectively. This allows us to define the pullback of a…

The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…

In this note we associate to each Frobenius algebra a vertex algebra, the simplest example being the Virasoro vertex algebra. This construction is analogous to the procedure which associates to a Lie algebra with an invariant bilinear form…

Let $X$ be a complex manifold, $\pi: E \rightarrow X$ a locally trivial holomorphic fibration with fiber $F$, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form. We associate to this data a holomorphic prefactorization…

We introduce the notion of Lie algebras with plus-minus pairs as well as regular plus-minus pairs. These notions deal with certain factorizations in universal enveloping algebras. We show that many important Lie algebras have such pairs and…

We discuss the higher dimensional generalizations of the Virasoro and Affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. We present an explicit construction for a central extensions of the Lie Algebra $Map (X, \g)$ where $\g$ is a finite-dimensional Lie…

We establish an embedding of the quantum enveloping algebra of a symmetric generalized Kac--Moody algebra into a localized Hall algebra of $\mathbb Z_2$-graded complexes of representations of a quiver with (possible) loops. To overcome…

After giving some definitions for vertex operator SUPERalgebras and their modules, we construct an associative algebra corresponding to any vertex operator superalgebra, such that the representations of the vertex operator algebra are in…

We develop vertex and factorisation algebra analogues of the theory of quasitriangular bialgebras. Analogously to the classical theory, we prove their categories of representations are controlled by spectral R-matrices. In the vertex…

Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects living on manifolds, and they arise naturally in mathematics and physics. Their local structure encompasses examples like associative algebras and vertex algebras; in these examples, their…

We develop the noncommutative geometry (bundles, connections etc.) associated to algebras that factorise into two subalgebras. An example is the factorisation of matrices $M_2(\C)=\C\Z_2\cdot\C\Z_2$. We also further extend the coalgebra…

We realize the enveloping algebra of the positive part of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra as a convolution algebra of constructible functions on module varieties of some Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras of dimension 1.
