The theory of Poisson Vertex Algebras (PVAs) is a good framework to treat Hamiltonian partial differential equations. A PVA consists of a pair $(\mathcal{A},\{\cdot_\lambda\cdot\})$ of a differential algebra $\mathcal{A}$ and a bilinear…

In this paper, we introduce and study new classes of sub-vertex operator algebras of the lattice vertex operator algebras (VOAs), which we call the conic, Borel, and parabolic-type subVOAs. These CFT-type VOAs, which are not necessarily…

We present free field realizations for the associated vertex operator algebras of a number of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories. Our constructions utilize an exceptionally small set of chiral bosons whose number…

For the Lie algebra $\g$ of a connected infinite-dimensional Lie group~$G$, there is a natural duality between so-called semi-equicontinuous weak-*-closed convex Ad^*(G)-invariant subsets of the dual space $\g'$ and Ad(G)-invariant lower…

In two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) the building blocks are given by chiral CFTs, i.e.~CFTs on the unit circle (compactified light-ray). They are generated by quantum fields depending on one light-ray coordinate only. There are…

We construct an $\epsilon$-deformation of W algebras, corresponding to the additive version of quiver $\text{W}_{q,t^{-1}}$ algebras which feature prominently in the 5d version of the BPS/CFT correspondence and refined topological strings…

We study McKay's observation on the Monster simple group, which relates the 2A-involutions of the Monster simple group to the extended E_8 diagram, using the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). We first consider the sublattices L of…

Vertex algebras (and their modules) can be described as vector spaces together with a linear operator-valued series in one parameter $z$. With the interpretation of $z$ as a coordinate at a point on a curve, one can construct algebraic…

We study the representations of some simple affine vertex algebras at non-admissible level arising from rank one 4D SCFTs. In particular, we classify the irreducible highest weight modules of $L_{-2}(G_2)$ and $L_{-2}(B_3)$. It is known by…

We study three families of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras defined from Vertex Operator Algebras and their properties. For $N=0$ VOAs, we review the construction of the Fock space $V_L$ from an even lattice $L$ and provide an algebraic…

Vertex operators, being families of birational transformations of infinite-dimensional algebraic ``varieties'' M, act on appropriate line bundles on M. However, they act on (meromorphic) sections only as_partial operators_: they are defined…

Six-dimensional conformal field theories with $(2,0)$ supersymmetry are shown to possess a protected sector of operators and observables that are isomorphic to a two-dimensional chiral algebra. We argue that the chiral algebra associated to…

We introduce a new family of C_2-cofinite N=1 vertex operator superalgebras SW(m), $m \geq 1$, which are natural super analogs of the triplet vertex algebra family W(p), $p \geq 2$, important in logarithmic conformal field theory. We…

We consider arbitrary embeddings of surface operators in a pure, non-supersymmetric abelian gauge theory on spin (non-spin) four-manifolds. For any surface operator with a priori simultaneously non-vanishing parameters, we explicitly show…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space. Given a decomposition $V\otimes V=\oplus_i^n I_i$, define $n$ quadratic algebras $(V, J_m)$ where $J_m=\oplus_{i\neq m} I_i$. This decomposition defines also the quantum semigroup…

It is typical for a semi-infinite cohomology complex associated with a graded Lie algebra to occur as a vertex operator (or chiral) superalgebra where all the standard operators of cohomology theory, in particular the differential, are…

This paper is to study what we call twisted regular representations for vertex operator algebras. Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra, let $\sigma_1,\sigma_2$ be commuting finite-order automorphisms of $V$ and let…

We investigate dual realizations of non--commutative spaces of Lie algebra type in terms of formal power series in the Weyl algebra. To each realization of a Lie algebra $\g$ we associate a star--product on the symmetric algebra $S(\g)$ and…

Given a map $\Xi\colon U(\mathfrak{g})\rightarrow A$ of associative algebras, with $U(\mathfrak{g})$ the universal enveloping algebra of a (complex) finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the restriction functor from…

In recent work, Wang and the third author defined a class of 'extremal' vertex operator algebras (VOAs), consisting of those with at least two simple modules and conformal dimensions as large as possible for the central charge. In this…
