Compact automorphism groups of vertex operator algebras

q-alg 2008-02-03 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

Let VV be a simple vertex operator algebra which admits the continuous, faithful action of a compact Lie group GG of automorphisms. We establish a Schur-Weyl type duality between the unitary, irreducible modules for GG and the irreducible modules for VGV^G which are contained in VV where VGV^G is the space of GG-invariants of V.V. We also prove a concomitant Galois correspondence between vertex operator subalgebras of VV which contain VGV^G and closed Lie subgroups of GG in the case that GG is abelian.
