We show that there is a braided tensor category structure on the category of $C_1$-cofinite modules for the (universal or simple) Virasoro vertex operator algebras of arbitrary central charge. In the generic case of central charge…
The study of twisted representations of graded vertex algebras is important for understanding orbifold models in conformal field theory. In this paper we consider the general set-up of a vertex algebra $V$, graded by $\G/\Z$ for some…
The main result is that the category of ordinary modules of an affine vertex operator algebra of a simply laced Lie algebra at admissible level is rigid and thus a braided fusion category. If the level satisfies a certain coprime property…
We introduce notions of open-string vertex algebra, conformal open-string vertex algebra and variants of these notions. These are ``open-string-theoretic,'' ``noncommutative'' generalizations of the notions of vertex algebra and of…
This paper is about the orbifold theory of affine vertex operator superalgebras. Among the main results, we classify the irreducible modules and determine the fusion rules for the orbifold of the simple affine vertex operator superalgebra…
We investigate in details how the Virasoro algebra appears in the scaling limit of the simplest lattice models of XXZ or RSOS type. Our approach is straightforward but to our knowledge had never been tried so far. We simply formulate a…
In this paper, we study the structure of a general framed vertex operator algebra. We show that the structure codes (C,D) of a framed VOA V satisfy certain duality conditions. As a consequence, we prove that every framed VOA is a simple…

It is known that there are two inequivalent $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded $osp(1|2)$ Lie superalgebras. Their affine extensions are investigated and it is shown that one of them admits two central elements, one is non-graded and the other is…
Contour dynamics is a classical subject both in physics and in complex analysis. We show that the dynamics provided by the L\"owner-Kufarev ODE and PDE possesses a rigid algebraic structure given by the Virasoro algebra. Namely, the…
By the classical genus zero Sugawara construction one obtains from admissible representations of affine Lie algebras (Kac-Moody algebras of affine type) representations of the Virasoro algebra. In this lecture first the classical…
Let $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$ be the affine Lie algebra of type $A_{2l}^{(2)}$. The integrable highest weight $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$-module $L(k\Lambda_0)$ called the standard $\tilde{\mathfrak{g}}$-module is realized by a tensor product of…
We give a general treatment of the master equation in homotopy algebras and describe the operads and formal differential geometric objects governing the corresponding algebraic structures. We show that the notion of Maurer-Cartan twisting…
In this paper, we study Virasoro vertex algebras and affine vertex algebras over a general field of characteristic $p>2$. More specifically, we study certain quotients of the universal Virasoro and affine vertex algebras by ideals related…
We introduce a notion of a (V,T)-module over a vertex algebra V for an arbitrary positive integer T, which is a generalization of a twisted V-module. Under some conditions on V, we construct an associative algebra A^{T}_{m}(V) for…
By a Sugawara construction we mean a generalized Virasoro construction in which the currents are primary fields of conformal weight one. For simple Lie algebras, this singles out the standard Sugawara construction out of all the solutions…
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…
We revisit the construction of integral forms for vertex (operator) algebras $V_L$ based on even lattices $L$ using generators instead of bases, and we construct integral forms for $V_L$-modules. We construct integral forms for vertex…
Let $\gg$ be a simple, finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra, and let $V^k(\gg)$ denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to $\gg$ at level $k$. The Cartan involution on $\gg$ lifts to an involution on $V^k(\gg)$, and we…
In this work we define, for the first time, the affine and projective plane over the real Okubo algebra, showing a concrete geometrical interpretation of its Spin group. Okubo algebra is a flexible, composition algebra which is also a not…
