In this note we show that the irreducible twisted modules of a holomorphic, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra $V$ have $L_0$-weights at least as large as the smallest $L_0$-weight of $V$. Hence, if $V$ is of CFT-type, then the twisted…

To a positive-definite even lattice $Q$, one can associate the lattice vertex algebra $V_Q$, and any automorphism $\sigma$ of $Q$ lifts to an automorphism of $V_Q$. In this paper, we investigate the orbifold vertex algebra $V_Q^\sigma$,…
