A logarithmic generalization of tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a logarithmic tensor product theory for certain module categories for a “conformal vertex algebra.” In this theory, which is a natural, although intricate, generalization of earlier work of Huang and Lepowsky, we do not require the module categories to be semisimple, and we accommodate modules with generalized weight spaces. The corresponding intertwining operators contain logarithms of the variables.

Vertex tensor category structure on a category of Kazhdan-Lusztig
We incorporate a category considered by Kazhdan and Lusztig of certain modules (of a fixed level , not a positive integer) for an affine Lie algebra, into the representation theory of vertex operator algebras. We do this using the logarithmic tensor product theory for generalized modules for a vertex operator algebra developed by Huang, Lepowsky and the author; we prove that the conditions for ...
متن کاملLogarithmic tensor product theory for generalized modules for a conformal vertex algebra
We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a “conformal vertex algebra” or even more generally, for a “Möbius vertex algebra.” We do not require the module categories to be semisimple, and we accommodate modules with generalized weight spaces. As in the ea...

متن کامل(nonmeromorphic) operator product expansion and the tensor product theory
In [HL1]–[HL5] and [H1], a theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra is being developed. To use this theory, one first has to verify that the vertex operator algebra satisfies certain conditions. We show in the present paper that for any vertex operator algebra containing a vertex operator subalgebra isomorphic to a tensor product algebra of minimal Virasoro vertex oper...
متن کاملLogarithmic Intertwining Operators and Vertex Operators
This is the first in a series of papers where we study logarithmic intertwining operators for various vertex subalgebras of Heisenberg vertex operator algebras. In this paper we examine logarithmic intertwining operators associated with rank one Heisenberg vertex operator algebra M(1)a, of central charge 1 − 12a . We classify these operators in terms of depth and provide explicit constructions ...
