We describe a logarithmic tensor product theory for certain module categories for a "conformal vertex algebra". In this theory, which is a natural, although intricate, generalization of earlier work of Huang and Lepowsky, we do not require the module categories to be semisimple, and we accommodate modules with generalized weight spaces. The corresponding intertwining operators contain logarithms of the variables.

Semi-infinite forms on the moduli spaces of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with punctures and local coordinates are introduced. A partial operad of semi-infinite forms is constructed. Using semi-infinite forms and motivated by a partial suboperad of the partial operad of semi-infinite forms, topological vertex partial operads of type k<0 and strong topological vertex partial operads of type k<0 are constructed. It is proved that the category of (locally-)grading-restricted (strong) topological vertex operator algebras of type k<0 and the category of (weakly) meromorphic ℤ×ℤ-graded algebras over the (strong) topological vertex partial operad of type k are isomorphic. As an application of this isomorphism theorem, the following conjecture of Lian-Zuckerman and Kimura-Voronov-Zuckerman is proved: A strong topological vertex operator algebra gives a (weak) homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra. These results hold in particular for the tensor product of the moonshine module vertex operator algebra, the vertex algebra constructed from a rank 2 Lorentz lattice and the ghost vertex operator algebra, studied in detail first by Lian and Zuckerman.

Regular Representations

This paper is to establish a theory of regular representations for vertex operator algebras. In the paper, for a vertex operator algebra V and a V-module W, we construct, out of the dual space W*, a family of canonical weak V ⊗ V-modules [Formula: see text] with a nonzero complex number z as the parameter. We prove that for V-modules W, W1 and W2, a P(z)-intertwining map of type [Formula: see text] in the sense of Huang and Lepowsky exactly amounts to a V ⊗ V-homomorphism from W1 ⊗ W2 into [Formula: see text]. Combining this with Huang and Lepowsky's one-to-one linear correspondence between the space of intertwining operators and the space of P(z)-intertwining maps of the same type we obtain a canonical linear isomorphism fromthe space [Formula: see text] of intertwining operators of the indicated type to [Formula: see text]. Denote by RP(z)(W) the sum of all (ordinary) V ⊗ V-submodules of [Formula: see text]. Assuming that V satisfies certain suitable conditions, we obtain a canonical decomposition of RP(z)(W) into irreducible V ⊗ V-modules. In particular, we obtain a decomposition of Peter–Weyl type for RP(z)(V). Denote by ℱP(z) the functor from the category of V-modules to the category of weak V ⊗ V-modules such that ℱP(z)(W)=RP(z)(W'). We prove that for V-modules W1, W2, a P(z)-tensor product of W1 and W2 in the sense of Huang and Lepowsky exactly amounts to a universal from W1 ⊗ W2 to the functor ℱP(z). This implies that the functor ℱP(z) is essentially a right adjoint of the Huang–Lepowsky's P(z)-tensor product functor. It is also proved that RP(z)(W) for [Formula: see text] are canonically isomorphic V ⊗ V-modules.

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].

We show that if every module W for a vertex operator algebra V = ∐n∈ℤV(n) satisfies the condition dim W/C1(W)<∞, where C1(W) is the subspace of W spanned by elements of the form u-1w for u ∈ V+ = ∐n>0 V(n) and w ∈ W, then matrix elements of products and iterates of intertwining operators satisfy certain systems of differential equations. Moreover, for prescribed singular points, there exist such systems of differential equations such that the prescribed singular points are regular. The finiteness of the fusion rules is an immediate consequence of a result used to establish the existence of such systems. Using these systems of differential equations and some additional reductivity conditions, we prove that products of intertwining operators for V satisfy the convergence and extension property needed in the tensor product theory for V-modules. Consequently, when a vertex operator algebra V satisfies all the conditions mentioned above, we obtain a natural structure of vertex tensor category (consequently braided tensor category) on the category of V-modules and a natural structure of intertwining operator algebra on the direct sum of all (inequivalent) irreducible V-modules.

Quantum Vertex

This is a sequel to [23]. In this paper, we focus on the construction of quantum vertex algebras over ℂ, whose notion was formulated in [23] with Etingof and Kazhdan's notion of quantum vertex operator algebra (over ℂ[[h]]) as one of the main motivations. As one of the main steps in constructing quantum vertex algebras, we prove that every countable-dimensional nonlocal (namely, noncommutative) vertex algebra over ℂ, which either is irreducible or has a basis of PBW type, is nondegenerate in the sense of Etingof and Kazhdan. Using this result, we establish the nondegeneracy of better known vertex operator algebras and some newly constructed nonlocal vertex algebras. We construct a family of quantum vertex algebras closely related to Zamolodchikov–Faddeev algebras.
