Abstract We discover a large class of simple affine vertex algebras $V_{k} ({\mathfrak{g}})$, associated to basic Lie superalgebras ${\mathfrak{g}}$ at non-admissible collapsing levels $k$, having exactly one irreducible ${\mathfrak{g}}$-locally finite module in the category ${\mathcal O}$. In the case when ${\mathfrak{g}}$ is a Lie algebra, we prove a complete reducibility result for $V_k({\mathfrak{g}})$-modules at an arbitrary collapsing level. We also determine the generators of the maximal ideal in the universal affine vertex algebra $V^k ({\mathfrak{g}})$ at certain negative integer levels. Considering some conformal embeddings in the simple affine vertex algebras $V_{-1/2} (C_n)$ and $V_{-4}(E_7)$, we surprisingly obtain the realization of non-simple affine vertex algebras of types $B$ and $D$ having exactly one nontrivial ideal.

This is the third part in a series of papers developing a twisted tensor product theory for nonlocal vertex algebras and its modules. In this paper we introduce and study twisted tensor product modules over Möbius twisted tensor product nonlocal vertex algebras. Among the main results, we find the isomorphic relation between the opposite Möbius twisted tensor product nonlocal vertex algebra and twisted tensor product of opposite Möbius nonlocal vertex algebras. And we also establish the isomorphism between two twisted tensor product contragredient modules. Furthermore, we study iterated twisted tensor product modules over iterated twisted tensor product nonlocal vertex algebras and find conditions for constructing an iterated twisted tensor product module of three factors.

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. C. Bai, J. Fuchs, Y.-Z. Huang, L. Kong, I. Runkel and C. 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.

A notion of vertex bialgebra and a notion of nonlocal vertex module-algebra for a vertex bialgebra are studied and then a smash product construction of nonlocal vertex algebras is presented. For every nonlocal vertex algebra V satisfying a suitable condition, a canonical bialgebra B(V) is constructed such that primitive elements of B(V) are essentially pseudo-derivations and group-like elements are essentially pseudo-endomorphisms. As an application, vertex algebras associated with the Heisenberg Lie algebras as well as those associated with the nondegenerate even lattices are reconstructed through smash products, and furthermore, a different approach to the construction of modules for the lattice vertex algebras is given.

We study invariant Hermitian forms on a conformal vertex algebra and on their (twisted) modules. We establish existence of a non-zero invariant Hermitian form on an arbitrary [Formula: see text]-algebra. We show that for a minimal simple [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text] this form can be unitary only when its [Formula: see text]-grading is compatible with parity, unless [Formula: see text] “collapses” to its affine subalgebra.

Abstract We construct a family of vertex algebras associated with a family of symplectic singularity/resolution, called hypertoric varieties. While the hypertoric varieties are constructed by a certain Hamiltonian reduction associated with a torus action, our vertex algebras are constructed by (semi-infinite) BRST reduction. The construction works algebro-geometrically, and we construct sheaves of $\hbar $-adic vertex algebras over hypertoric varieties, which localize the vertex algebras. We determine when it is a vertex operator algebra by giving an explicit conformal vector. We also discuss the Zhu algebra of the vertex algebra and its relation with a quantization of the hypertoric variety. In certain cases, we obtain the affine ${\mathcal{W}}$-algebra associated with the subregular nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_N$ at level $N-1$ and simple affine vertex operator algebra for $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_N$ at level $-1$.

We introduce a notion of Mathieu–Zhao subspaces of vertex algebras. Among other things, we show that for a vertex algebra [Formula: see text] and its subspace [Formula: see text] that contains [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a Mathieu–Zhao subspace of [Formula: see text] if and only if the quotient space [Formula: see text] is a Mathieu–Zhao subspace of a commutative associative algebra [Formula: see text]. As a result, one can study the famous Jacobian conjecture in terms of Mathieu–Zhao subspaces of vertex algebras. In addition, for a [Formula: see text]-type vertex operator algebra [Formula: see text] that satisfies the [Formula: see text]-cofiniteness condition, we classify all Mathieu–Zhao subspaces [Formula: see text] that contain [Formula: see text].
