Following a recent proposal of Richard Borcherds to regard fusion as the ring-like tensor product of modules of a {\em quantum ring}, a generalization of rings and vertex operators, we define fusion as a certain quotient of the (vector…

We give an abstract construction, based on the Belavin-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov equations, of a family of vertex operator algebras of rank $26$ associated to the modified regular representations of the Virasoro algebra. The vertex operators…

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…

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…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra and $g=\left(1\ 2\ \cdots k\right)$ be a $k$-cycle which is viewed as an automorphism of the vertex operator algebra $V^{\otimes k}$. It is proved that Dong-Li-Mason's associated associative algebra…

We show that if every module W for a vertex operator algebra V satisfies the condition that the dimension of W/C_1(W) is less than infinity, where C_1(W) is the subspace of W spanned by elements of the form u_{-1}w for u in V of positive…

Let P be a quadratic operad. We determine an associated operad ~P such that for any P-algebra A and any ~P-algebra B then the tensor product $A \otimes B$ is a P-algebra.

This is the first part in a two-part series of papers constructing a unitary structure for the modular tensor category (MTC) associated to a unitary rational vertex operator algebra (VOA).

We discuss some basic problems and conjectures in a program to construct general orbifold conformal field theories using the representation theory of vertex operator algebras. We first review a program to construct conformal field theories.…

We produce counterexamples to show that in the definition of the notion of intertwining operator for modules for a vertex operator algebra, the commutator formula cannot in general be used as a replacement axiom for the Jacobi identity. We…

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…

In this paper we prove several theorems about the behavior of index of Lie algebras derived from associative algebras under tensor products of underlying associative algebras.

Let V be a vertex operator algebra and G a finite automorphism group of V. For each g\in G and nonnegative rational number n\in {\mathbb Z}/|g|, a g-twisted Zhu algebra A_{g,n}(V) plays an important role in the theory of vertex operator…

We obtain a faithful representation of the twisted tensor product $B\otimes_{\chi} A$ of unital associative algebras, when $B$ is finite dimensional. This generalizes the representations of [C] where $B=K[X]/<X^2-X>$, [GGV] where…

Modulo the ideal generated by the derivative fields, the normal ordered product of holomorphic fields in two-dimensional conformal field theory yields a commutative and associative algebra. The zero mode algebra can be regarded as a…
