The duality between vertex operator algebras and coalgebras, modules and comodules

چکیده
We construct an equivalence between the categories of vertex operator algebras and vertex operator coalgebras. We then investigate to what degree weak modules, generalized modules and ordinary modules carry corresponding comodule structures, as well as when various comodules carry module structure.

Module and Comodule Categories - a Survey
The theory of modules over associative algebras and the theory of comodules for coassociative coalgebras were developed fairly independently during the last decades. In this survey we display an intimate connection between these areas by the notion of categories subgenerated by an object. After a review of the relevant techniques in categories of left modules, applications to the bimodule struc...
متن کاملVertex Coalgebras, Comodules, Cocommutativity and Coassociativity
We introduce the notion of vertex coalgebra, a generalization of vertex operator coalgebras. Next we investigate forms of cocommutativity, coassociativity, skew-symmetry, and an endomorphism, D∗, which hold on vertex coalgebras. The former two properties require grading. We then discuss comodule structure. We conclude by discussing instances where graded vertex coalgebras appear, particularly a...
متن کاملColby]Fuller Duality between Coalgebras
w x In 8 , K. Morita introduced a useful notion of duality between categories of modules, usually called ‘‘Morita duality.’’ He proved that every duality is given by contravariant hom functors defined by a bimodule which is an injective cogenerator for both categories of modules. On the other hand, the equivalences between categories of comodules over a coalgebra w x were characterized by M. Ta...
متن کاملOn Coprime Modules and Comodules
Many observations about coalgebras were inspired by comparable situations for algebras. Despite the prominent role of prime algebras, the theory of a corresponding notion for coalgebras was not well understood so far. Coalgebras C over fields may be called coprime provided the dual algebra C∗ is prime. This definition, however, is not intrinsic it strongly depends on the base ring being a field...
متن کاملSymmetry for Comodule Categories
For coalgebras C over a field, we study when the categories CM of left C-comodules and MC of right C-comodules are symmetric categories, in the sense that there is a duality between the categories of finitely presented unitary left R-modules and finitely presented unitary left L-modules, where R and L are the functor rings associated to the finitely accessible categories CM and MC .
