K-theory associated to vertex operator algebras

چکیده
We introduce two K-theories, one for vector bundles whose fibers are modules of vertex operator algebras, another for vector bundles whose fibers are modules of associative algebras. We verify the cohomological properties of these K-theories, and construct a natural homomorphism from the VOA K-theory to the associative algebra K-theory.

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 conformal vertex algebra. Given an open-string vertex algebra, we show that there exists a vertex algebra, which we call the " meromorphic center, " inside the origi...

We present a vertex operator algebra which is an extension of the level k vertex operator algebra for the ŝl2 conformal field theory. We construct monomial basis of its irreducible representations.

The theory of vertex (operator) algebras has developed rapidly in the last few years. These rich algebraic structures provide the proper formulation for the moonshine module construction for the Monster group ([B1-B2], [FLM1], [FLM3]) and also give a lot of new insight into the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra and affine Kac-Moody algebras (see for instance [DL3], [DMZ], [FZ], [W])...
متن کاملRegularity of rational vertex operator algebras
Rational vertex operator algebras, which play a fundamental role in rational conformal field theory (see [BPZ] and [MS]), single out an important class of vertex operator algebras. Most vertex operator algebras which have been studied so far are rational vertex operator algebras. Familiar examples include the moonshine module V ♮ ([B], [FLM], [D2]), the vertex operator algebras VL associated wi...
متن کاملLocal and Semilocal Vertex Operator Algebras
We initiate a general structure theory for vertex operator algebras V . We discuss the center and the blocks of V , the Jacobson radical and solvable radical, and local vertex operator algebras. The main consequence of our structure theory is that if V satisfies some mild conditions, then it is necessarily semilocal, i.e. a direct sum of local vertex operator algebras.
