Vertex operators and sporadic groups
نویسنده
چکیده
In the 1980’s, the work of Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman, along with that of Borcherds, culminated in the notion of vertex operator algebra, and an example whose full symmetry group is the largest sporadic simple group: the Monster. Thus it was shown that the vertex operators of mathematical physics play a role in finite group theory. In this article we describe an extension of this phenomenon by introducing the notion of enhanced vertex operator algebra, and constructing examples that realize other sporadic simple groups, including one that is not involved in the Monster.

D-branes, open string vertex operators, and Ext groups
In this note we explicitly work out the precise relationship between Ext groups and massless modes of D-branes wrapped on complex submanifolds of Calabi-Yau manifolds. Specifically, we explicitly compute the boundary vertex operators for massless Ramond sector states, in open string B models describing Calabi-Yau manifolds at large radius, directly in BCFT using standard methods. Naively these ...
متن کاملOn intertwining operators and finite automorphism groups of vertex operator algebras
Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra and G a finite automorphism group. We give a construction of intertwining operators for irreducible V G-modules which occur as submodules of irreducible V -modules by using intertwining operators for V . We also determine some fusion rules for a vertex operator algebra as an application.

We exhibit a vertex operator which implements multiplication by power-sums of Jucys-Murphy elements in the centers of the group algebras of all symmetric groups simultaneously. The coefficients of this operator generate a representation of W1+∞, to which operators multiplying by normalized conjugacy classes are also shown to belong. A new derivation of such operators based on matrix integrals i...
