Introduction to vertex operator algebras II

This is the second of three lectures on introduction to vertex operator algebras. In this lecture, we shall continue Professor Dong’s lecture to present more fundamental properties of vertex operator algebras. From the mathematical point of view, a vertex operator algebra formally resembles a Lie algebra because the Jacobi identity is used as one of the main axioms. For the Lie algebra aspect o...

Operator Algebras

Notice that the left-hand side of the third equation is the sum of the left-hand sides of the first two. As a result, no solution to the system exists unless a + b = c. But if a + b = c, then any solution of the first two equations is also a solution of the third; and in any linear system involving more unknowns than equations, solutions, when they exist, are never unique. In the present case, ...

Operator Theory and Operator Algebras

Model Theory of Operator Algebras Ii: Model Theory

We introduce a version of logic for metric structures suitable for applications to C*-algebras and tracial von Neumann algebras. We also prove a purely model-theoretic result to the effect that the theory of a separable metric structure is stable if and only if all of its ultrapowers associated with nonprincipal ultrafilters on N are isomorphic even when the Continuum Hypothesis fails.

0 A functional - analytic theory of vertex ( operator ) algebras , II

For a finitely-generated vertex operator algebra V of central charge c ∈ C, a locally convex topological completion HV is constructed. We construct on HV a structure of an algebra over the operad of the c 2 -th power Det c/2 of the determinant line bundle Det over the moduli space of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with ordered analytically parametrized boundary components. In particular, HV is a m...
