AbstractIn this paper, we prove that the full automorphism group of the ${\mathbb Z}_2$-orbifold of the Barnes–Wall lattice vertex operator algebra of central charge 32 has the shape 227.E6(2). In order to identify the group structure, we introduce a graph structure on the Griess algebra and show that it is a rank 3 graph associated to E6(2).

Lattice Vertex Operator Algebra

AbstractIn this paper, we study orbifold constructions associated with the Leech lattice vertex operator algebra. As an application, we prove that the structure of a strongly regular holomorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge 24 is uniquely determined by its weight one Lie algebra if the Lie algebra has the type A3,43A1,2, A4,52, D4,12A2,6, A6,7, A7,4A1,13, D5,8A1,2 or D6,5A1,12 by using the reverse orbifold construction. Our result also provides alternative constructions of these vertex operator algebras (except for the case A6,7) from the Leech lattice vertex operator algebra.

Intertwining Operator

In [7] and [9], the author introduced the notion of intertwining operator algebra, a nonmeromorphic generalization of the notion of vertex operator algebra involving monodromies. The problem of constructing intertwining operator algebras from representations of suitable vertex operator algebras was solved implicitly earlier in [5]. In the present paper, we generalize the geometric and operadic formulation of the notion of vertex operator algebra given in [3, 4, 11, 12, 8] to the notion of intertwining operator algebra. We show that the category of intertwining operator algebras of central charge [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the category of algebras over rational genus-zero modular functors (certain analytic partial operads) of central charge c satisfying a certain generalized meromorphicity property. This result is one main step in the construction of genus-zero conformal field theories from representations of vertex operator algebras announced in [7]. One byproduct of the proof of the present isomorphism theorem is a geometric construction of (framed) braid group representations from intertwining operator algebras and, in particular, from representations of suitable vertex operator algebras.

Special Case

We exhibit an action of Conway’s group – the automorphism group of the Leech lattice – on a distinguished super vertex operator algebra, and we prove that the associated graded trace functions are normalized principal moduli, all having vanishing constant terms in their Fourier expansion. Thus we construct the natural analogue of the Frenkel–Lepowsky–Meurman moonshine module for Conway’s group. The super vertex operator algebra we consider admits a natural characterization, in direct analogy with that conjectured to hold for the moonshine module vertex operator algebra. It also admits a unique canonically twisted module, and the action of the Conway group naturally extends. We prove a special case of generalized moonshine for the Conway group, by showing that the graded trace functions arising from its action on the canonically twisted module are constant in the case of Leech lattice automorphisms with fixed points, and are principal moduli for genus-zero groups otherwise.

Intertwining Operator

We apply the general theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra (developed by Lepowsky and the first author) and the general theory of intertwining operator algebras (developed by the first author) to the case of the N=1 superconformal minimal models and related models in superconformal field theory. We show that for the category of modules for a vertex operator algebra containing a subalgebra isomorphic to a tensor product of rational vertex operator superalgebras associated to the N =1 Neveu–Schwarz Lie superalgebra, the intertwining operators among the modules have the associativity property, the category has a natural structure of vertex tensor category, and a number of related results hold. We obtain, as a corollary and special case, a construction of a braided tensor category structure on the category of finite direct sums of minimal modules of central charge [Formula: see text] for the N = 1 Neveu–Schwarz Lie superalgebra for any fixed integers p, q larger than 1 such that p - q ∈ 2ℤ and (p - q)/2 and q relatively prime to each other.
