We classify certain non-linear Lie conformal algebras with three generators, which can be viewed as deformations of the current Lie conformal algebra of sl_2. In doing so we discover an interesting 1-parameter family of non-linear Lie…

Within the framework of the discrete Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory we analyze the structure of vertex operators on a lattice. In particular, the lattice analogues of operator product expansions and braid relations are discussed. As the…

We consider C-graded vertex algebras, which are vertex algebras V with a C-grading such that V is an admissible V-module generated by 'lowest weight vectors'. We show that such vertex algebras have a 'good' representation theory in the…

We describe an approach to classify (meromorphic) representations of a given vertex operator algebra by calculating Zhu's algebra explicitly. We demonstrate this for FKS lattice theories and subtheories corresponding to the Z_2 reflection…

We give a complete description of the full automorphism group of a lattice vertex operator algebra, determine the twisted Zhu's algebra for the automorphism lifted from the -1 isometry of the lattice and classify the corresponding…

We prove that higher level Zhu algebras of a vertex operator algebra are isomorphic to subquotients of its universal enveloping algebra.

In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…

Certain deformable families of vertex algebras acquire at a limit of the deformation parameter a large center, similar to affine Lie algebras at critical level. Then the vertex algebra and its representation category become a bundle over…

Relaxing first-class constraint conditions in the usual Drinfeld-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction leads, after symmetry fixing, to realizations of W algebras expressed in terms of all the J-current components. General results are given for G a…

Let $V$ be a vertex algebra and $g$ be an automorphism of $V$ of order $T$. For any $n, m \in (1/T)\mathbb{N}$, we construct an $\tilde{A}_{g,n}(V)\!-\!\tilde{A}_{g,m}(V)$-bimodule $\tilde{A}_{g,n,m}(V)$, where $\tilde{A}_{g,n}(V)$ denotes…

We give a geometric proof of inverse Hamiltonian reduction for all affine W-algebras in type A at generic level, a certain embedding of the affine W-algebra corresponding to an arbitrary nilpotent in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ into that…

For a C1-cofinite vertex algebra V, we give an efficient way to calculate Zhu's algebra A(V) of V with respect to its C1-generators and relations. We use two examples to explain how this method works.

In a vertex algebraic framework, we present an explicit description of the twisted Wakimoto realizations of the affine Lie algebras in correspondence with an arbitrary finite order automorphism and a compatible integral gradation of a…

Given a finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra g equipped with a nondegenerate, symmetric, invariant bilinear form B, let V_k(g,B) denote the universal affine vertex algebra associated to g and B at level k. For any reductive group G of…

Let H_T=C[T,T^{-1}] be the Hopf algebra of symmetries of a lattice of rank 1, or equivalently, H_T is the group algebra of a free Abelian group with one generator T. We construct conformal algebras, vertex Poisson algebras and vertex…

We construct a new family of affine $W$-algebras $W^k(\lambda,\mu)$ parameterized by partitions $\lambda$ and $\mu$ associated with the centralizers of nilpotent elements in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$. The new family unifies a few known classes of…

Let G denote a group and let W be an algebra over a commutative ring R. We will say that W is a G-graded twisted algebra (not necessarily commutative, neither associative) if there exists a G-grading W=\bigoplus_{g \in G}W_{g} where each…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of twisted restricted conformal blocks on totally ramified orbicurves and establish an isomorphism between the space of twisted restricted conformal blocks and the space of twisted conformal blocks. The…
