We consider exceptional vertex operator algebras for which particular Casimir vectors constructed from the primary vectors of lowest conformal weight are Virasoro descendants of the vacuum. We discuss constraints on these theories that…
Every isometry $\sigma$ of a positive-definite even lattice $Q$ can be lifted to an automorphism of the lattice vertex algebra $V_Q$. An important problem in vertex algebra theory and conformal field theory is to classify the…
In this paper we study the first cohomologies for the following three examples of vertex operator algebras: (i) the simple affine VOA associated to a simple Lie algebra with positive integral level; (ii) the Virasoro VOA corresponding to…
Developments in algorithms over the past decade suggest that there is a new computational approach to a class of quantum field theories. This approach is based on rewriting the partition function in a representation similar to the…
This paper is an extended version of our previous short letter \cite{ZG2} and is attempted to give a detailed account for the results presented in that paper. Let $U_q({\cal G}^{(1)})$ be the quantized nontwisted affine Lie algebra and…
The Bershadsky-Polyakov algebras are the original examples of nonregular W-algebras, obtained from the affine vertex operator algebras associated with $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ by quantum hamiltonian reduction. In [arXiv:2007.03917], we explored…
W-algebras are a class of non-commutative algebras related to the classical universal enveloping algebras. They can be defined as a subquotient of U(g) related to a choice of nilpotent element e and compatible nilpotent subalgebra m. The…
We study the quantum finite W-algebras W(gl_N,f), associated to the Lie algebra gl_N, and its arbitrary nilpotent element f. We construct for such an algebra an r_1 x r_1 matrix L(z) of Yangian type, where r_1 is the number of maximal parts…
We use an argument of Romans showing that every Virasoro construction leads to realizations of $W_3$, to construct $W_3$ realizations on arbitrary affine Lie algebras. Solutions are presented for generic values of the level as well as for…
In this paper we classify all simple weight modules for a quantum group $U_q$ at a complex root of unity $q$ when the Lie algebra is not of type $G_2$. By a weight module we mean a finitely generated $U_q$-module which has finite…
By resorting to the Fock--Bargmann representation, we incorporate the quantum Weyl--Heisenberg algebra, $q$-WH, into the theory of entire analytic functions. The $q$--WH algebra operators are realized in terms of finite difference operators…
Scalar particles in the adjoint representation of a non-Abelian gauge theory play an important role in many scenarios beyond the standard model, especially of GUT type. For such theories manifestly gauge-invariant, massless, composite…
For any integral lattice $Q$, one can construct a vertex algebra $V_Q$ called a lattice vertex algebra. If $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $Q$ of finite order, it can be lifted to an automorphism of $V_Q$. In this paper we classify the…
This paper shows how to construct classical and quantum field C*-algebras modeling a $U(1)^n$-gauge theory in any dimension using a novel approach to lattice gauge theory, while simultaneously constructing a strict deformation quantization…
An embedding method to get $q$-deformations for the non--semisimple algebras generating the motion groups of $N$--dimensional flat spaces is presented. This method gives a global and simultaneous scheme of $q$-deformation for all $iso(p,q)$…
Common features of known quantum gravity theories may hint at the general nature of quantum gravity. The absence of continuous global symmetries is one such feature. This inspired the Weak Gravity Conjecture, which bounds masses of charged…
To a tree of semi-simple algebras we associate a qurve (or formally smooth algebra) S. We introduce a Zariski- and etale quiver describing the finite dimensional representations of S. In particular, we show that all quotient varieties of…
We prove that any classical affine W-algebra W(g,f), where g is a classical Lie algebra and f is an arbitrary nilpotent element of g, carries an integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy of Lax type equations. This is based on the theories of…
We study a class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras called generalized Witt algebras (in one variable). These include the classical Witt algebra and the centerless Virasoro algebra as important examples. We show that any such generalized…
Generalizing our earlier work, we introduce the homogeneous quantum $Z$-algebras for all quantum affine algebras $\alg$ of type one. With the new algebras we unite previously scattered realizations of quantum affine algebras in various…
