In the 1980s, Harada introduced a new class of algebras now called Harada algebras. Harada algebras provides us with a rich source of Auslander's 1-Gorenstein algebras. In this paper, we have two main results about Harada algebras. The…

We prove some combinatorial conjectures extending those proposed in [13, 14]. The proof uses a vertex operator due to Nekrasov, Okounkov, and the first author [4] to obtain a "gluing formula" for the relevant generating series, essentially…

We give two constructions of grading-restricted vertex (super)algebras. We first give a new construction of a class of grading-restricted vertex (super)algebras originally obtained by Meurman and Primc using a different method. This…

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…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, $g$ be an automorphism of $V$ of order $T$, and $m, n \in (1/T)\mathbb{N}$. In~\cite{HX2} and~\cite{HXX1}, it was shown respectively that the associative algebra $A_{g,n}(V)$ constructed by Dong, Li,…

We transcribe a portion of the theory of extensions of C*-algebras to general operator algebras. We also include several new general facts about approximately unital ideals in operator algebras and the C*-algebras which they generate.

We first determine the automorphism group of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro vertex operator algebra $V_{\mathcal{L}}(\ell_{123},0)$.Then, for any integer $t>1$, we introduce a new Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}_{t}$, and show that…

In this paper we develop a formalism for working with twisted realizations of vertex and conformal algebras. As an example, we study realizations of conformal algebras by twisted formal power series. The main application of our technique is…

Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…

This paper studies restricted modules of gap-$p$ Virasoro algebra $\L$ and their intrinsic connection to twisted modules of certain vertex algebras. We first establish an equivalence between the category of restricted $\L$-modules of level…

In this paper, we introduce novel concepts and establish a formal framework for twisted differential operators in the context of several variables. The focus is on twisted coordinates within Huber rings, which facilitate the construction of…

This paper begins with a brief survey of the period prior to and soon after the creation of the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). This survey is intended to highlight some of the important developments leading to the creation of…

Derivations play a fundamental role in the definition of vertex (operator) algebras, sometimes regarded as a generalization of differential commutative algebras. This paper studies the role played by the integral counterpart of the…

A vertex operator algebra of lattice type ADE has a standard integral form which extends a Chevalley basis for its degree 1 Lie algebra. This integral form may be used to define a vertex algebra over a commutative ring $R$ and to get a…

In this article we give a short and informal overview of some aspects of the theory of C*- and von Neumann algebras. We also mention some classical results and applications of these families of operator algebras.

The main result of this paper is a combinatorial description of a basis of standard level 1 module for the twisted affine Lie algebra $A_2^{(2)}.$ This description also gives two new combinatorial identities of G\"ollnitz (or…
