Associative algebras for (logarithmic) twisted modules for a vertex operator algebra

چکیده
We construct two associative algebras from a vertex operator algebra V and a general automorphism g of V . The first, called g-twisted zero-mode algebra, is a subquotient of what we call g-twisted universal enveloping algebra of V . These algebras are generalizations of the corresponding algebras introduced and studied by FrenkelZhu and Nagatomo-Tsuchiya in the (untwisted) case that g is the identity. The other is a generalization of the g-twisted version of Zhu’s algebra for suitable g-twisted modules constructed by Dong-Li-Mason when the order of g is finite. We are mainly interested in g-twisted V -modules introduced by the first author in the case that g is of infinite order and does not act on V semisimply. In this case, twisted vertex operators in general involve the logarithm of the variable. We construct functors between categories of suitable modules for these associative algebras and categories of suitable (logarithmic) g-twisted V -modules. Using these functors, we prove that the g-twisted zero-mode algebra and the g-twisted generalization of Zhu’s algebra are in fact isomorphic.

Twisted Representations of Vertex Operator Algebras
Let V be a vertex operator algebra and g an automorphism of finite order. We construct an associative algebra Ag(V ) and a pair of functors between the category of Ag(V )-modules and a certain category of admissible g-twisted V -modules. In particular, these functors exhibit a bijection between the simple modules in each category. We give various applications, including the fact that the comple...

Let V be a vertex operator algebra and g an automorphism of order T . We construct a sequence of associative algebras Ag,n(V ) with n ∈ 1 T Z nonnegative such that Ag,n(V ) is a quotient of Ag,n+1/T (V ) and a pair of functors between the category of Ag,n(V )-modules which are not Ag,n−1/T (V )-modules and the category of admissible V -modules. These functors exhibit a bijection between the sim...
متن کاملLogarithmic intertwining operators and associative algebras
We establish an isomorphism between the space of logarithmic intertwining operators among suitable generalized modules for a vertex operator algebra and the space of homomorphisms between suitable modules for a generalization of Zhu’s algebra given by Dong-Li-Mason.
متن کاملTwisted modules for vertex operator algebras
In this contribution, I explain the general principles of twisted modules for vertex operator algebras in its powerful formulation using formal series, and derive new general relations satisfied by twisted and non-twisted vertex operators. I prove new “equivalence” and “construction” theorems, identifying a very restricted set of sufficient conditions in order to have a twisted module for a ver...
متن کاملWeak modules and logarithmic intertwining operators for vertex operator algebras
We consider a class of weak modules for vertex operator algebras that we call logarithmic modules. We also construct nontrivial examples of intertwining operators between certain logarithmic modules for the Virasoro vertex operator algebra. At the end we speculate about some possible logarithmic intertwiners at the level c = 0. Introduction This work is an attempt to explain an algebraic reform...
