For coprime $p,q\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$, the triplet vertex operator algebra $W_{p,q}$ is a non-simple extension of the universal Virasoro vertex operator algebra of central charge $c_{p,q}=1-\frac{6(p-q)^2}{pq}$, and it is a basic example…

We describe a natural structure of an abelian intertwining algebra (in the sense of Dong and Lepowsky) on the direct sum of the untwisted vertex operator algebra constructed {}from the Leech lattice and its (unique) irreducible twisted…

We extend the Dong-Mason theorem on the irreducibility of modules for orbifold vertex algebras from [C. Dong, G. Mason, Duke Math. J. 86 (1997)] 305-321] for the category of weak modules. Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, $g$ an…

Let V be a vertex operator algebra, and for k a positive integer, let g be a k-cycle permutation of the vertex operator algebra V^{\otimes k}. We prove that the categories of weak, weak admissible and ordinary g-twisted modules for the…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator superalgebra with the natural order 2 automorphism $\sigma$. Under suitable conditions on $V$, the $\sigma$-fixed subspace $V_{\bar 0}$ is a vertex operator algebra and the category $C_{V_{\bar 0}}$ of $V_{\bar…

We solve the problem of constructing a genus-zero full conformal field theory (a conformal field theory on genus-zero Riemann surfaces containing both chiral and antichiral parts) from representations of a simple vertex operator algebra…

We show that direct limit completions of vertex tensor categories inherit vertex and braided tensor category structures, under conditions that hold for example for all known Virasoro and affine Lie algebra tensor categories. A consequence…

We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for $\mathcal{C}$ a braided tensor category, we give a detailed construction of the…

We prove a general mirror duality theorem for a subalgebra $U$ of a simple conformal vertex algebra $A$ and its commutant $V=\mathrm{Com}_A(U)$. Specifically, we assume that $A\cong\bigoplus_{i\in I} U_i\otimes V_i$ as a $U\otimes…

We generalize Feigin and Miwa's construction of extended vertex operator (super)algebras $A_{k}(sl(2))$ for other types of simple Lie algebras. For all the constructed extended vertex operator (super)algebras, irreducible modules are…

This is the first paper of a three-part series in which we develop a theory of conformal blocks for $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebras (VOAs) that are not necessarily rational. The ultimate goal of this series is to prove a…

In this paper, we study the tensor products of irreducible highest weight modules with irreducible loop modules over the affine-Virasoro algebra with aid of the ``shifting technique" established for the Virasoro algebra in [H. Chen, X. Guo,…

This is the fourth part of a series of papers developing a tensor product theory of modules for a vertex operator algebra. In this paper, We establish the associativity of $P(z)$-tensor products for nonzero complex numbers $z$ constructed…

We show that C_2-cofiniteness is enough to prove a modular invariance property of vertex operator algebras without assuming the semisimplicity of Zhu algebra. For example, if a VOA V=\oplus_{m=0}^{\infty}V_m is C_2-cofinite, then the space…

Linear operators $R$ are introduced on tensor products of evaluation modules of $U'_q\bigl(\widehat{sl}(2)\bigr)$ obtained from the complementary and strange series representations. The operators $R$ satisfy the intertwining condition on…

We give an algebraic proof of the unitarity of the vertex operator algebra $L(21/22, 0)\oplus L(21/22, 8)$ and of all its irreducible ordinary modules, using a coset realization arising from the $3C$-algebra. Motivated by the structure of…

We introduce an associative algebra $A^{\infty}(V)$ using infinite matrices with entries in a grading-restricted vertex algebra $V$ such that the associated graded space $Gr(W)=\coprod_{n\in \mathbb{N}}Gr_{n}(W)$ of a filtration of a…

We investigate a one-point restriction of conformal blocks on $(\mathbb{P}^1,\infty,1,0)$ associated with modules over a vertex operator algebra. By restricting the module attached to the point $\infty$ to its bottom degree, we obtain a new…

We determine fusion rules (dimensions of the space of intertwining operators) among simple modules for the vertex operator algebra obtained as an even part of the symplectic fermionic vertex operator superalgebra. By using these fusion…

This is the second part in a series of papers presenting a theory of tensor products for module categories for a vertex operator algebra. In Part I (hep-th/9309076), the notions of $P(z)$- and $Q(z)$-tensor product of two modules for a…
