چکیده

We introduce a notion of strongly C×-graded generalized g-twisted V -module for an automorphism g, not necessarily of finite order, of a vertex operator algebra. Let V = ∐ n∈Z V(n) be a vertex operator algebra such that V(0) = C1 and V(n) = 0 for n < 0 and let u be an element of V of weight 1 such that L(1)u = 0, ResxY (u, x) has only real eigenvalues, and the sizes of the Jordan blocks of ResxY (u, x) on V(n) for n ∈ Z are bounded. Then the exponential of 2πiResxY (u, x) is an automorphism gu of V . In this case, a strongly C ×-graded generalized gu-twisted V -module is constructed from a strongly C ×-graded generalized V -module with a compatible action of gu using the exponential of the negative-power part of the vertex operator Y (u, x). An important feature is that we have to work with generalized (twisted) V -modules which are doubly graded by the group C× and by generalized eigenspaces (not just eigenspaces) for L(0), and the twisted vertex operators in general involve the logarithm of the formal variable.

Generalized twisted modules associated to general automorphisms of a vertex operator algebra

We introduce a notion of strongly C×-graded, or equivalently, C/Zgraded generalized g-twisted V -module associated to an automorphism g, not necessarily of finite order, of a vertex operator algebra. We also introduce a notion of strongly C-graded generalized g-twisted V -module if V admits an additional C-grading compatible with g. Let V = ∐ n∈Z V(n) be a vertex operator algebra such that V(0)...

Twisted 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...

Twisted Sectors for Tensor Product Vertex Operator Algebras Associated to Permutation Groups

Let V be a vertex operator algebra, and for k a positive integer, let g be a k-cycle permutation of the vertex operator algebra V⊗k . We prove that the categories of weak, weak admissible and ordinary g-twisted modules for the tensor product vertex operator algebra V⊗k are isomorphic to the categories of weak, weak admissible and ordinary V -modules, respectively. The main result is an explicit...

Twisted vertex operators and Bernoulli polynomials

Using general principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an arbitrary twisting automorphism. The construction involves the Bernoulli polynomials in a fundamental way. We develop new identities and principles in the theory of ...

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...
