Let V be a vertex operator algebra. We construct a sequence of associative algebras A_n(V) (n=0,1,2,...) such that A_{n}(V) is a quotient of A_{n+1}(V) and a pair of functors between the category of A_n(V)-modules which are not…

Twisted current algebras are fixed point subalgebras of current algebras under a finite group action. Special cases include equivariant map algebras and twisted forms of current algebras. Their finite-dimensional simple modules fall into…
