In this thesis we develop an orbifold theory for a finite, cyclic group $G$ acting on a suitably regular, holomorphic vertex operator algebra $V$. To this end we describe the fusion algebra of the fixed-point vertex operator subalgebra…

Let $V$ be a strongly regular vertex operator algebra and let $\frak{ch}_V$ be the space spanned by the characters of the irreducible $V$-modules.\ It is known that $\frak{ch}_V$ is the space of solutions of a so-called \emph{modular linear…

Let $\sigma(A)$, $\rho(A)$ and $r(A)$ denote the spectrum, spectral radius and numerical radius of a bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$, respectively. We show that a linear operator $A$ satisfying $$\rho(AB)\le r(A)r(B)…

This paper is the first in a series of papers developing a functional-analytic theory of vertex (operator) algebras and their representations. For an arbitrary Z-graded finitely-generated vertex algebra (V, Y, 1) satisfying the standard…

We prove a dimension formula for the weight-1 subspace of a vertex operator algebra $V^{\operatorname{orb}(g)}$ obtained by orbifolding a strongly rational, holomorphic vertex operator algebra $V$ of central charge 24 with a finite-order…

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…

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…

This article is a continuation of our work on the classification of holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24. We show that a holomorphic framed VOA of central charge 24 is uniquely determined by the Lie algebra…

In this paper we introduce a notion of vertex Lie algebra U, in a way a "half" of vertex algebra structure sufficient to construct the corresponding local Lie algebra L(U) and a vertex algebra V(U). We show that we may consider U as a…

We classify the irreducible modules for the fixed point vertex operator subebra of the rank 1 free bosonic VOA under the -1 automorphism.

A real finite-dimensional space with indefinite scalar product having v- negative squares and v+ positive ones is considered. The paper presents a classification of operators that are normal with respect to this product for the cases…

In this exposition, I discuss several developments in the theory of vertex operator algebras, and I include motivation for the definition.

We study representations of the meromorphic open-string vertex algebra (MOSVAs hereafter) defined in [H3], a noncommutative generalization of vertex (operator) algebra. We start by recalling the definition of a MOSVA $V$ and left…

Let L(n-l+1/2,0) be the vertex operator algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra of type B_l^(1) at level n-l+1/2, for a positive integer n. We classify irreducible L(n-l+1/2,0)-modules and show that every L(n-l+1/2,0)-module is…

We classify all linear operators $A:V\to V$ satisfying $(Au,v)=(u,A^rv)$ and all linear operators satisfying $(Au,A^rv)=(u,v)$ with $r=2,3,\dots$ on a complex, real, or quaternion vector space with scalar product given by a nonsingular…

Given any vertex operator algebra $ V $ with an automorphism $ g $, we derive a Jacobi identity for an intertwining operator $ \mathcal{Y} $ of type $ \left( \begin{smallmatrix} W_3\\ W_1 \, W_2 \end{smallmatrix}\right) $ when $ W_1 $ is an…

In this paper we consider the vector-valued Schr\"{o}dinger operator $-\Delta + V$, where the potential term $V$ is a matrix-valued function whose entries belong to $L^1_{\rm loc}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and, for every $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, $V(x)$ is…

A synaptic algebra $A$ is a generalization of the self-adjoint part of a von Neumann algebra. We study a linear subspace $V$ of $A$ in regard to the question of when $V$ is a vector lattice. Our main theorem states that if $V$ contains the…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator superalgebra and $g=\left(1\ 2\ \cdots k\right)$ be a $k$-cycle which is viewed as an automorphism of the tensor product vertex operator superalgebra $V^{\otimes k}$. In this paper, we construct an explicit…
