It is shown how certain idempotents in the Griess algebra generate the discrete series representations for the Virasoro algebra inside the Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman's moonshine module vertex operator algebra. It is also shown that each…
We obtain the orbifold Virasoro master equation (OVME) at integer order lambda, which summarizes the general Virasoro construction on orbifold affine algebra. The OVME includes the Virasoro master equation when lambda=1 and contains large…
We represent Feigin's construction [11] of lattice W algebras and give some simple results: lattice Virasoro and $W_3$ algebras. For simplest case $g=sl(2)$ we introduce whole $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group on this lattice. We find simplest…
We continue the study of the vertex operator algebra $L(k,0)$ associated to a type $G_2^{(1)}$ affine Lie algebra at admissible one-third integer levels, $k = -2 + m + \tfrac{i}{3}\ (m\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}, i = 1,2)$, initiated in…
We consider the theory of multicomponent free massless fermions in two dimensions and use it for construction of representations of W-algebras at integer Virasoro central charges. We define the vertex operators in this theory in terms of…

For a simple module $M$ over the positive part of the Virasoro algebra (actually for any simple module over some finite dimensional solvable Lie algebras $\mathfrak{a}_r$) and any $\alpha\in\C$, a class of weight modules $\mathcal {N}(M,…
A commutative associative algebra $A$ over ${\mathbb C}$ with a derivation is one of the simplest examples of a vertex algebra. However, the differences between the modules for $A$ as a vertex algebra and the modules for $A$ as an…
Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra satisfying suitable conditions such that in particular its module category has a natural vertex tensor category structure, and consequently, a natural braided tensor category structure. We prove that the…

We give a proof of the recursive formula on the norm of Whittaker vector of the deformed Virasoro algebra, which is an analog of the one for the Virasoro Lie algebra proposed by Al. Zamolodchikov. Our formula gives a proof of the pure SU(2)…
We investigate in details how the Virasoro algebra appears in the scaling limit of the simplest lattice models of XXZ or RSOS type. Our approach is straightforward but to our knowledge had never been tried so far. We simply formulate a…
We consider embeddings of the Virasoro algebra into other Virasoro algebras with different central charges. A Virasoro algebra with central charge c (assumed to be a positive integer) and zero mode operator L_0 can be embedded into another…
In vertex operator algebra theories, most of the general theorems are proved under the assumptions of rationality and C_2-cofiniteness. In this paper, we obtain several general theorems without the assumption of rationality so that we can…
In this article, we study the moonshine vertex operator algebra starting with the tensor product of three copies of the vertex operator algebra $V_{\sqrt2E_8}^+$, and describe it by the quadratic space over $\F_2$ associated to…
Given a weight-one element $u$ of a vertex operator algebra $V$, we construct an automorphism of the category of generalized $g$-twisted modules for automorphisms $g$ of $V$ fixing $u$. We apply this construction to the case that $V$ is an…
We construct degeneration limits of vertex operators for the Virasoro algebra. Our method relies on the rearranged expansion of compositions of vertex operators together with their integral representations. Using this framework, we obtain a…
We generalize the notion of an intertwining operator to N-graded weak modules over a vertex operator algebra and study their properties. We show a formula for the dimensions of these intertwining operators in terms of modules over the Zhu…
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 construct vertex algebraic intertwining operators among certain generalized Verma modules for $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})}$ and calculate the corresponding fusion rules. Additionally, we show that under some conditions these…
