On functors between module categories for associative algebras and for N-graded vertex algebras

چکیده
We prove that the weak associativity for modules for vertex algebras are equivalent to a residue formula for iterates of vertex operators, obtained using the weak associativity and the lower truncation property of vertex operators, together with a known formula expressing products of components of vertex operators as linear combinations of iterates of components of vertex operators. By requiring that these two formulas instead of the commutator formula hold, we construct a functor S from the category of modules for Zhu’s algebra of a vertex operator algebra V to the category of N-gradable weak V -modules. We prove that S has a universal property and the functor T of taking top levels of N-gradable weak V -modules is a left inverse of S. In particular, S is equal to a functor implicitly given by Zhu and explicitly constructed by Dong, Li and Mason and we obtain a new construction without using relations corresponding to the commutator formula. The hard part of this new construction is a technical theorem stating roughly that in a module for Zhu’s algebra, the relation corresponding to the residue formula mentioned above can in fact be obtained from the relations corresponding to the action of Zhu’s algebra.

Associative algebras for (logarithmic) twisted modules for a vertex operator algebra
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 id...
متن کاملArithmetic Deformation Theory of Lie Algebras
This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over Z or Zl with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artinian local rings in order to obtain universal deformation rings for deformations of graded Lie algebras and their graded representations...

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...

Let V be a vertex operator algebra. We construct a sequence of associative algebras A n (V) (n = 0; 1; 2; :::) such that A n (V) is a quotient of A n+1 (V) and a pair of functors between the category of A n (V)-modules which are not A n?1 (V)-modules and the category of admissible V-modules. These functors exhibit a bijection between the simple modules in each category. We also show that V is r...
متن کاملAbelian Categories of Modules over a (Lax) Monoidal Functor
In [CY98] Crane and Yetter introduced a deformation theory for monoidal categories. The related deformation theory for monoidal functors introduced by Yetter in [Yet98] is a proper generalization of Gerstenhaber’s deformation theory for associative algebras [Ger63, Ger64, GS88]. In the present paper we solidify the analogy between lax monoidal functors and associative algebras by showing that u...
