Let $V$ be one of the following unitary strongly-rational VOAs: unitary WZW models, discrete series W-algebras of type ADE, even lattice VOAs, parafermion VOAs, their tensor products, and their strongly-rational cosets. Let $U$ be a…

Unitary vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and conformal nets are the two most prominent mathematical axiomatizations of two-dimensional unitary chiral conformal field theories. They are conjectured to be equivalent, but a rigorous comparison…

The study of open quantum systems relies on the notion of unital completely positive semigroups on $C^*$-algebras representing physical systems. The natural generalisation would be to consider the unital completely positive semigroups on…

Full Vertex Operator Algebras (full VOA) are extensions of two commuting Vertex Operator Algebras, introduced to formulate compact two-dimensional conformal field theory. We define unitarity, polynomial energy bounds and polynomial spectral…

We prove that all holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge $24$ with non-trivial weight one subspaces are unitary. The main method is to use the orbifold construction of a holomorphic VOA $V$ of central charge $24$ directly…

We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…

In this paper, the notion of unitary vertex operator superalgebra is introduced. It is proved that the vertex operator superalgebras associated to the unitary highest weight representations for the Neveu-Schwarz Lie superalgebra, Heisenberg…

A unitary and strongly rational vertex operator algebra (VOA) $V$ is called strongly unitary if all irreducible $V$-modules are unitarizable. A strongly unitary VOA $V$ is called completely unitary if for each unitary $V$-modules $W_1$,…

This paper begins with a brief survey of the period prior to and soon after the creation of the theory of vertex operator algebras (VOAs). This survey is intended to highlight some of the important developments leading to the creation of…

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…

We describe the role of algebraic extensions in the theory of commutative, unital normed algebras, with special attention to uniform algebras. We shall also compare these constructions and show how they are related to each other.

This is the first part in a two-part series of papers constructing a unitary structure for the modular tensor category (MTC) associated to a unitary rational vertex operator algebra (VOA).

We study a vertex operator algebra containing a tensor product of Ising models. It is a direct sum of code vertex operator algebra and its irreducible modules. Therefore, we classify all irreducible modules of code vertex operator algebras…

We prove an equivalence between the following notions: (i) unitary M\"obius vertex algebras, and (ii) Wightman conformal field theories on the circle (with finite-dimensional conformal weight spaces) satisfying an additional condition that…

Prototypical rational vertex operator algebras are associated to affine Lie algebras at positive integer level k. They correspond physically to the Wess-Zumino-Witten theories, and their representation theory can be captured by quantum…

We prove the equivalence of VOA tensor categories and conformal net tensor categories for the following examples: all WZW models; all lattice VOAs; all unitary parafermion VOAs; type $ADE$ discrete series $W$-algebras; their tensor…

We provide a criterion for a vertex operator superalgebra homomorphism from an affine vertex algebra to another vertex superalgebra to be conformal, and an additional criterion that guarantees that this homomorphism is surjective. This…

Representations of vertex operator algebras $V$ (VOAs) have numerous applications, including the construction of sheaves of conformal blocks on moduli spaces of curves. For a $V$-module $W = \oplus W_d$, a sequence of associative algebras…

In this paper we show that for a large natural class of vertex operator algebras (VOAs) and their modules, the Zhu algebras and bimodules (and their $g$-twisted analogs) are Noetherian. These carry important information about the…

We transcribe a portion of the theory of extensions of C*-algebras to general operator algebras. We also include several new general facts about approximately unital ideals in operator algebras and the C*-algebras which they generate.
