چکیده
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 rational if and only if all A n (V) are nite-dimensional semisimple algebras.

Deformation of central charges, vertex operator algebras whose Griess algebras are Jordan algebras
If a vertex operator algebra V = ⊕n=0Vn satisfies dimV0 = 1, V1 = 0, then V2 has a commutative (nonassociative) algebra structure called Griess algebra. One of the typical examples of commutative (nonassociative) algebras is a Jordan algebra. For example, the set Symd(C) of symmetric matrices of degree d becomes a Jordan algebra. On the other hand, in the theory of vertex operator algebras, cen...
متن کاملFramed vertex operator algebras, codes and the moonshine module
For a simple vertex operator algebra whose Virasoro element is a sum of commutative Virasoro elements of central charge 1 2 , two codes are introduced and studied. It is proved that such vertex operator algebras are rational. For lattice vertex operator algebras and related ones, decompositions into direct sums of irreducible modules for the product of the Virasoro algebras of central charge 1 ...
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.

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 کاملIntroduction to vertex operator algebras II
This is the second of three lectures on introduction to vertex operator algebras. In this lecture, we shall continue Professor Dong’s lecture to present more fundamental properties of vertex operator algebras. From the mathematical point of view, a vertex operator algebra formally resembles a Lie algebra because the Jacobi identity is used as one of the main axioms. For the Lie algebra aspect o...
متن کاملCertain extensions of vertex operator algebras of affine type
We generalize Feigin and Miwa’s construction of extended vertex operator (super)algebras Ak(sl(2)) for other types of simple Lie algebras. For all the constructed extended vertex operator (super)algebras, irreducible modules are classified, complete reducibility of every module is proved and fusion rules are determined modulo the fusion rules for vertex operator algebras of affine type.
