Vertex operator algebras are mathematically rigorous objects corresponding to chiral algebras in conformal field theory. Operads are mathematical devices to describe operations, that is, $n$-ary operations for all $n$ greater than or equal…
An explicit vertex operator algebra construction is given of a class of irreducible modules for toroidal Lie algebras.
The notion of vertex operator coalgebra is presented and motivated via the geometry of conformal field theory. Specifically, we describe the category of geometric vertex operator coalgebras, whose objects have comultiplicative structures…

We introduce the notion of irregular vertex (operator) algebras. The irregular versions of fundamental properties, such as Goddard uniqueness theorem, associativity and operator product expansions are formulated and proved. We also give…
We characterize vertex algebras (in a suitable sense) as algebras over a certain graded co-operad. We also discuss some examples and categorical implications of this characterization.
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…
In this exposition, I discuss several developments in the theory of vertex operator algebras, and I include motivation for the definition.
In this paper, we study the algebra of twisted vertex operators over an even integral ${\mathbf Z}_2$-lattice, and give a kind of systematic construction of fundamental representations for affine Lie algebras of type $A$, $D$, $E$ with…

Twisted vertex operators based on rational lattices have had many applications in vertex operator algebra theory and conformal field theory. In this paper, ``relativized'' twisted vertex operators are constructed in a general context based…

The notion of vertex operator coalgebra is presented which corresponds to the family of correlation functions of one string propagating in space-time splitting into n strings in conformal field theory. This notion is in some sense dual to…
The rationality and C_2-cofiniteness of the orbifold vertex operator algebra V_{L_{2}}^{A_{4}} are established and all the irreducible modules are constructed and classified. This is part of classification of rational vertex operator…
The rational vertex operator algebra $V_{L_{2}}^{A_{4}}$ is characterized in terms of weights of primary vectors. This reduces the classification of rational vertex operator algebras with $c=1$ to the characterizations of…
This paper studies the twisted representations of vertex operator algebras. Let V be a vertex operator algebra and g an automorphism of V of finite order T. For any m,n in (1/T)Z_+, an A_{g,n}(V)-A_{g,m}(V)-bimodule A_{g,n,m}(V) is…
In two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) the building blocks are given by chiral CFTs, i.e.~CFTs on the unit circle (compactified light-ray). They are generated by quantum fields depending on one light-ray coordinate only. There are…
Let $V$ be a vertex algebra and $g$ an automorphism of $V$ of order $T$. We construct a sequence of associative algebras $\tilde{A}_{g,n}(V )$ for any $n\in(1/T)\mathbb{N}$, which are not depend on the conformal structure of $V$. We show…
