Abstract We study the birational geometry of the moduli space of parabolic bundles over a projective line, in the framework of Mori’s program. We show that the moduli space is a Mori dream space. As a consequence, we obtain the finite generation of the algebra of type A conformal blocks. Furthermore, we compute the H-representation of the effective cone that was previously obtained by Belkale. For each big divisor, the associated birational model is described in terms of moduli space of parabolic bundles.

We construct three families of vertex algebras along with their modules from appropriate vertex Lie algebras, using the constructions in [Vertex Lie algebra, vertex Poisson algebras and vertex algebras, in Recent Developments in Infinite-Dimensional Lie Algebras and Conformal Field Theory[Formula: see text] Proceedings of an International Conference at University of Virginia[Formula: see text] May 2000, in Contemporary Mathematics, Vol. 297 (American Mathematical Society, 2002), pp. 69–96] by Dong, Li and Mason. These vertex algebras are strongly graded vertex algebras introduced in [Logarithmic tensor category theory for generalized modules for a conformal vertex algebra, I: Introduction and strongly graded algebras and their generalized modules, in Conformal Field Theories and Tensor Categories[Formula: see text] Proceedings of a Workshop Held at Beijing International Center for Mathematics Research, eds.

Schweigert, Mathematical Lectures from Beijing University, Vol. 2 (Springer, New York, 2014), pp. 169–248] by Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang in their logarithmic tensor category theory and can also be realized as vertex algebras associated to certain well-known infinite dimensional Lie algebras. We classify irreducible [Formula: see text]-gradable weak modules for these vertex algebras by determining their Zhu’s algebras. We find examples of strongly graded generalized modules for these vertex algebras that satisfy the [Formula: see text]-cofiniteness condition introduced in [Differential equations and logarithmic intertwining operators for strongly graded vertex algebra, Comm. Contemp. Math. 19(2) (2017) 1650009] by the second author. In particular, by a result of the second author [Differential equations and logarithmic intertwining operators for strongly graded vertex algebra, Comm. Contemp. Math. 19(2) (2017) 1650009, 26 pp.], the convergence and extension property for products and iterates of logarithmic intertwining operators in [Y.-Z. Huang, J. Lepowsky and L. Zhang, Logarithmic tensor category theory for generalized modules for a conformal vertex algebra, VII: Convergence and extension properties and applications to expansion for intertwining maps, preprint (2011); arXiv:1110.1929 ] among such strongly graded generalized modules is verified.

Logarithmic Intertwining Operators

We derive certain systems of differential equations for matrix elements of products and iterates of logarithmic intertwining operators among strongly graded generalized modules for a strongly graded vertex algebra under a certain finiteness condition and a condition related to the horizontal gradings. Using these systems of differential equations, we verify the convergence and extension property needed in the logarithmic tensor category theory for such strongly graded generalized modules developed by Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang.

This is the first of two papers in which we study the modular invariance of pseudotraces of logarithmic intertwining operators. We construct and study genus-one correlation functions for logarithmic intertwining operators among generalized modules over a positive-energy and [Formula: see text]-cofinite vertex operator algebra [Formula: see text]. We consider grading-restricted generalized [Formula: see text]-modules which admit a right action of some associative algebra [Formula: see text], and intertwining operators among such modules which commute with the action of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]-intertwining operators). We obtain duality properties, i.e. suitable associativity and commutativity properties, for [Formula: see text]-intertwining operators. Using pseudotraces introduced by Miyamoto and studied by Arike, we define formal [Formula: see text]-traces of products of [Formula: see text]-intertwining operators, and obtain certain identities for these formal series. This allows us to show that the formal [Formula: see text]-traces satisfy a system of differential equations with regular singular points, and therefore are absolutely convergent in a suitable region and can be extended to yield multivalued analytic functions, called genus-one correlation functions. Furthermore, we show that the space of solutions of these differential equations is invariant under the action of the modular group.

AbstractIn several examples it has been observed that a module category of a vertex operator algebra (VOA) is equivalent to a category of representations of some quantum group. The present article is concerned with developing such a duality in the case of the Virasoro VOA at generic central charge; arguably the most rudimentary of all VOAs, yet structurally complicated. We do not address the category of all modules of the generic Virasoro VOA, but we consider the infinitely many modules from the first row of the Kac table. Building on an explicit quantum group method of Coulomb gas integrals, we give a new proof of the fusion rules, we prove the analyticity of compositions of intertwining operators, and we show that the conformal blocks are fully determined by the quantum group method. Crucially, we prove the associativity of the intertwining operators among the first-row modules, and find that the associativity is governed by the 6j-symbols of the quantum group. Our results constitute a concrete duality between a VOA and a quantum group, and they will serve as the key tools to establish the equivalence of the first-row subcategory of modules of the generic Virasoro VOA and the category of (type-1) finite-dimensional representations of $${\mathcal {U}}_q (\mathfrak {sl}_2)$$ U q ( sl 2 ) .
