In this paper we first prove that the maximal ideal of the universal affine vertex operator algebra $V^k(sl_n)$ for $k=-n+\frac{n-1}{q}$ is generated by two singular vectors of conformal weight $3q$ if $n=3$, and by one singular vector of…
Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra and G a finite automorphism group. Then there is a natural right G-action on the set of all inequivalent irreducible V-modules. Let S be a finite set of inequivalent irreducible V-modules which is…
Vertex operators in string theory come in two varieties: integrated and unintegrated. Understanding both types is important for the calculation of the string theory amplitudes. The relation between them is a descent procedure typically…
We present a realisation of the universal/simple Bershadsky--Polyakov vertex algebras as subalgebras of the tensor product of the universal/simple Zamolodchikov vertex algebras and an isotropic lattice vertex algebra. This generalises the…
We construct embeddings of boundary algebras B into ZF algebras A. Since it is known that these algebras are the relevant ones for the study of quantum integrable systems (with boundaries for B and without for A), this connection allows to…
We give a general criterion for conformal embeddings of vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras at arbitrary levels. Using that criterion, we construct new conformal embeddings at admissible rational and negative integer…
This paper is an exposition of the representation theory of vertex operator algebras in terms of associative algebras A_n(V) and their bimodules. A new result on the rationality is given. That is, a simple vertex operator algebra V is…
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…
In this paper we study a series of vertex operator algebras of integer level associated to the affine Lie algebra $A_{\ell}^{(1)}$. These vertex operator algebras are constructed by using the explicit construction of certain singular…
Given a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and a complex number $\kappa$, let $V^{\kappa}(\mathfrak{g})$ be the associated universal affine vertex algebra. In [GK07], the authors gave a sufficient and necessary…
In this paper, we study representations of the vertex operator algebra $L(k,0)$ at one-third admissible levels $k= -5/3, -4/3, -2/3$ for the affine algebra of type $G_2^{(1)}$. We first determine singular vectors and then obtain a…
We construct a direct sum completion $\mathcal{C}_{\oplus}$ of a given braided monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ which allows for the rigorous treatment of infinite order simple current extensions of vertex operator algebras as seen in…
We exhibit a vertex operator which implements multiplication by power-sums of Jucys-Murphy elements in the centers of the group algebras of all symmetric groups simultaneously. The coefficients of this operator generate a representation of…
In this work we give an explicit construction for the vertex operators of massless states in the pure spinor superstring in a plane wave background. The construction is based on the observation that the full action can be divided in two…
Galilean $W_3$ vertex operator algebra $\mathcal GW_3(c_L,c_M)$ is constructed as a universal enveloping vertex algebra of certain non-linear Lie conformal algebra. It is proved that this algebra is simple by using determinant formula of…
An explicit vertex operator algebra construction is given of a class of irreducible modules for toroidal Lie algebras.
In this note we construct a series of singular vectors in universal affine vertex operator algebras associated to $D_{\ell}^{(1)}$ of levels $n-\ell+1$, for $n \in \Z_{>0}$. For $n=1$, we study the representation theory of the quotient…
We classify vertex operator algebras (VOAs) of OZ-type generated by Ising vectors of $\sigma$-type. As a consequence of the classification, we also prove that such VOAs are simple, rational, $C_2$-cofinite and unitary, that is, they have…
This contribution reviews recent progress in constructing affine Lie algebras at arbitrary level in terms of vertex operators. The string model describes a completely compactified subcritical chiral bosonic string whose momentum lattice is…
We develop a general framework for the insertion of vertex operator on the string worldsheet, in BV formalism. Such insertions correspond to deformations of the Master Action which breaks the gauge symmetry to a subgroup, and then restoring…
