Abstract

Let VV be a vertex operator algebra and A(V)A^{\infty}(V) and AN(V)A^{N}(V) for NNN\in \mathbb{N} the associative algebras introduced by the author in [H5]. For a lower-bounded generalized VV-module WW, we give WW a structure of graded A(V)A^{\infty}(V)-module and we introduce an A(V)A^{\infty}(V)-bimodule A(W)A^{\infty}(W) and an AN(V)A^{N}(V)-bimodule AN(W)A^{N}(W). We prove that the space of (logarithmic) intertwining operators of type (W3W1W2)\binom{W_{3}}{W_{1}W_{2}} for lower-bounded generalized VV-modules W1W_{1}, W2W_{2} and W3W_{3} is isomorphic to the space homA(V)(A(W1)A(V)W2,W3)\hom_{A^{\infty}(V)}(A^{\infty}(W_{1})\otimes_{A^{\infty}(V)}W_{2}, W_{3}). Assuming that W2W_{2} and W3W_{3}' are equivalent to certain universal lower-bounded generalized VV-modules generated by their AN(V)A^{N}(V)-submodules consisting of elements of levels less than or equal to NNN\in \mathbb{N}, we also prove that the space of (logarithmic) intertwining operators of type (W3W1W2)\binom{W_{3}}{W_{1}W_{2}} is isomorphic to the space of homAN(V)(AN(W1)AN(V)ΩN0(W2),ΩN0(W3))\hom_{A^{N}(V)}(A^{N}(W_{1})\otimes_{A^{N}(V)}\Omega_{N}^{0}(W_{2}), \Omega_{N}^{0}(W_{3})).
