We analyze two types of permutation orbifolds: (i) S2-orbifolds of the universal level k vertex operator algebra Vk(𝔰𝔩2) and of its simple quotient Lk(𝔰𝔩2), and (ii) the S3-orbifold of the level one simple vertex operator algebra L1(𝔰𝔩2). We determine their structures and discuss related W-algebras.

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.

The classification of irreducible weak modules over the Virasoro vertex operator algebra [Formula: see text] is obtained in this paper. As one of the main results, we also classify all irreducible weak modules over the simple Virasoro vertex operator algebras [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] are coprime positive integers.

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.

Using general principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, we obtain a bosonic, twisted construction of a certain central extension of a Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, for an arbitrary twisting automorphism. The construction involves the Bernoulli polynomials in a fundamental way. We develop new identities and principles in the theory of vertex operator algebras and their twisted modules, and explain the construction by applying general results, including an identity that we call modified weak associativity, to the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra. This paper gives proofs and further explanations of results announced earlier. It is a generalization to twisted vertex operators of work announced by the second author some time ago, and includes as a special case the proof of the main results of that work.

We determine the decomposition of [Formula: see text] into a sum of irreducible T-modules for general l where Dl is the root lattice of type Dl and T is the tensor product of l+1 Virasoro vertex operator algebras with central charges c1=1/2, c2=7/10, c3=4/5, and ci=1 for 4≤i≤l+1.

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.

In this paper, we construct the foliation of a space associated to correlation functions of vertex operator algebras, considered on Riemann surfaces. We prove that the computation of general genus g correlation functions determines a foliation on the space associated to these correlation functions a sewn Riemann surface. Certain further applications of the definition are proposed.
