Suppose $V^G$ is the fixed-point vertex operator subalgebra of a compact group $G$ acting on a simple abelian intertwining algebra $V$. We show that if all irreducible $V^G$-modules contained in $V$ live in some braided tensor category of…

We give a new, construction-free proof of the associativity of tensor product for modules for rational vertex operator algebras under certain convergence conditions.

This paper is to study vertex operator superalgebras which are strongly generated by their weight-$2$ and weight-$\frac{3}{2}$ homogeneous subspaces. Among the main results, it is proved that if such a vertex operator superalgebra $V$ is…

It is proved that g-rationality of a vertex operator superalgebra V=V_{\bar0}+V_{\bar1} for all g in G imply rationality of V^G, and also imply that each irreducible V^G-module is a submodule of an irreducible g-twisted V-module for some g…

We introduce a notion of a (V,T)-module over a vertex algebra V for an arbitrary positive integer T, which is a generalization of a twisted V-module. Under some conditions on V, we construct an associative algebra A^{T}_{m}(V) for…

We notice that for any positive integer $k$, the set of $(1,2)$-specialized characters of level $k$ standard $A_{1}^{(1)}$-modules is the same as the set of rescaled graded dimensions of the subspaces of level $2k+1$ standard…

It is proved that if any Z-graded weak module for vertex operator algebra V is completely reducible, then V is rational and C_2-cofinite. That is, V is regular. This gives a natural characterization of regular vertex operator algebras.

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra and $A^{\infty}(V)$ and $A^{N}(V)$ for $N\in \mathbb{N}$ the associative algebras introduced by the author in [H5]. For a lower-bounded generalized $V$-module $W$, we give $W$ a structure of graded…

A double algebra is a linear space $V$ equipped with linear map $V\otimes V\to V\otimes V$. Additional conditions on this map lead to the notions of Lie and associative double algebras. We prove that simple finite-dimensional Lie double…

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…

A characterization of vertex operator algebra $V_L^+$ for any rank one positive definite even lattice $L$ is given in terms of dimensions of homogeneous subspaces of small weights. This result reduces the classification of rational vertex…

Unitary vertex operator algebras are introduced and studied. It is proved that most well-known rational vertex operator algebras are unitary. The classification of unitary vertex operator algebras with central charge c less than or equal to…

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…

Motivated by the study of indecomposable, nonsimple modules for a vertex operator algebra $V$, we study the relationship between various types of $V$-modules and modules for the higher level Zhu algebras for $V$, denoted $A_n(V)$, for $n…

We study the category of modules admitting compatible actions of the Lie algebra $\mathcal{V}$ of vector fields on an affine space and the algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of polynomial functions. We show that modules in this category which are…

We formulate an interpretation of the theory of physical superselection sectors in terms of vertex operator algebra language. Using this formulation we give a construction of simple current from a primary semisimple element of weight one.…

This is a continuation of our work to understand vertex operator algebras using the geometric properties of varieties attached to vertex operator algebras. For a class of vertex operator algebras including affine vertex operator algebras…

Given a vertex operator algebra $V$, one can construct two associative algebras, the Zhu algebra $A(V)$ and the $C_2$-algebra $R(V)$. This gives rise to two abelian categories $A(V)-\text{Mod}$ and $R(V)-\text{Mod}$, in addition to the…

We reformed the tensor product theory of vertex operator algebras developed by Huang and Lepowsky so that we could apply it to all vertex operator algebras satisfying C_2-cofiniteness. We also showed that the tensor product theory develops…
