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.

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.

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).

Abstract We prove a dimension formula for orbifold vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 by automorphisms of order n such that $\Gamma _{0}(n)$ is a genus zero group. We then use this formula together with the inverse orbifold construction for automorphisms of orders 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 to establish that each of the following fifteen Lie algebras is the weight-one space $V_{1}$ of exactly one holomorphic, $C_{2}$-cofinite vertex operator algebra V of CFT type and central charge 24: $A_{5}C_{5}E_{6,2}$, $A_{3}A_{7,2}{C_{3}^{2}}$, $A_{8,2}F_{4,2}$, $B_{8}E_{8,2}$, ${A_{2}^{2}}A_{5,2}^{2}B_{2}$, $C_{8}{F_{4}^{2}}$, $A_{4,2}^{2}C_{4,2}$, $A_{2,2}^{4}D_{4,4}$, $B_{5}E_{7,2}F_{4}$, $B_{4}{C_{6}^{2}}$, $A_{4,5}^{2}$, $A_{4}A_{9,2}B_{3}$, $B_{6}C_{10}$, $A_{1}C_{5,3}G_{2,2}$, and $A_{1,2}A_{3,4}^{3}$.

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.

We consider all genus zero and genus one correlation functions for the Virasoro vacuum descendants of a vertex operator algebra. These are described in terms of explicit generating functions that can be combinatorially expressed in terms of graph theory related to derangements in the genus zero case and to partial permutations in the genus one case.

This is the third in a series of papers studying the vertex-algebraic structure of principal subspaces of twisted modules for lattice vertex operator algebras. We focus primarily on lattices [Formula: see text] whose Gram matrix contains only non-negative entries. We develop further ideas originally presented by Calinescu, Lepowsky, and Milas to find presentations (generators and relations) of the principal subspace of a certain natural twisted module for the vertex operator algebra [Formula: see text]. We then use these presentations to construct exact sequences involving this principal subspace, which give a set of recursions satisfied by the multigraded dimension of the principal subspace and allow us to find the multigraded dimension of the principal subspace.
