To every vertex algebra $V$ we associate a canonical decreasing sequence of subspaces and prove that the associated graded vector space $gr(V)$ is naturally a vertex Poisson algebra, in particular a commutative vertex algebra. We establish…

We construct a family of vertex algebras associated to the current algebra of finite-dimensional abelian Lie algebras along with their modules and logarithmic modules. We show this family of vertex algebras and their modules are…

We develop the theory of double multiplicative Poisson vertex algebras. These structures, defined at the level of associative algebras, are shown to be such that they induce a classical structure of multiplicative Poisson vertex algebra on…

In this paper, for every one-dimensional formal group $F$ we formulate and study a notion of vertex $F$-algebra and a notion of $\phi$-coordinated module for a vertex $F$-algebra where $\phi$ is what we call an associate of $F$. In the case…

Lie conformal algebras appear in the theory of vertex algebras. Their relation is similar to that of Lie algebras and their universal enveloping algebras. Associative conformal algebras play a role in conformal representation theory. We…

In this paper we build an abstract description of vertex algebras from their basic axioms. Starting with Borcherds' notion of a vertex group, we naturally construct a family of multilinear singular maps parameterised by trees. These…

Given a vertex operator algebra V , one can attach a graded Poisson algebra called the C2-algebra R(V). The associate Poisson scheme provides an important invariant for V and has been studied by Arakawa as the associated variety. In this…

After giving some definitions for vertex operator SUPERalgebras and their modules, we construct an associative algebra corresponding to any vertex operator superalgebra, such that the representations of the vertex operator algebra are in…

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 introduce the notion of a genus and its mass for vertex algebras. For lattice vertex algebras, their genera are the same as those of lattices, which plays an important role in the classification of lattices. We derive a formula relating…

This paper illustrates the combinatorial approach to vertex algebra - study of vertex algebras presented by generators and relations. A necessary ingredient of this method is the notion of free vertex algebra. Borcherds \cite{bor} was the…

In this paper, a new construction of vertex algebras from more general vertex operators is given and a notion of quasi module for vertex algebras is introduced and studied. More specifically, a notion of quasi local subset(space) of $\Hom…

In this paper we try to define the higher dimensional analogues of vertex algebras. In other words we define algebras which we hope have the same relation to higher dimensional quantum field theories that vertex algebras have to one…

We introduce notions of open-string vertex algebra, conformal open-string vertex algebra and variants of these notions. These are ``open-string-theoretic,'' ``noncommutative'' generalizations of the notions of vertex algebra and of…

We introduce a new approach that allows us to determine the structure of Zhu's algebra for certain vertex operator (super)algebras which admit horizontal $\mathbb{Z} $-grading. By using this method and an earlier description of Zhu's…

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…

We introduce the notion of a non--linear Lie conformal superalgebra and prove a PBW theorem for its universal enveloping vertex algebra. We also show that conversely any graded freely generated vertex algebra is the universal enveloping…

Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…

A class of associative (super) algebras is presented, which naturally generalize both the symmetric algebra $Sym(V)$ and the wedge algebra $\wedge (V)$, where $V$ is a vector-space. These algebras are in a bijection with those subsets of…

A vertex operator algebra of lattice type ADE has a standard integral form which extends a Chevalley basis for its degree 1 Lie algebra. This integral form may be used to define a vertex algebra over a commutative ring $R$ and to get a…
