Modular invariance of characters of vertex operator algebras

Y Zhu - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 1996 - JSTOR
In contrast with the finite dimensional case, one of the distinguished features in the theory of
infinite dimensional Lie algebras is the modular invariance of the characters of certain …

Twisted representations of vertex operator algebras

C Dong, H Li, G Mason - arxiv preprint q-alg/9509005, 1995 - arxiv.org
Let $ V $ be a vertex operator algebra and $ g $ an automorphism of finite order. We
construct an associative algebra $ A_g (V) $ and a pair of functors between the category of …

Local systems of vertex operators, vertex superalgebras and modules

HS Li - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 1996 - Elsevier
We give an analogue for vertex operator algebras and superalgebras of the notion of
endomorphism ring of a vector space by means of a notion of “local system of vertex …

Regularity of rational vertex operator algebras

C Dong, H Li, G Mason - arxiv preprint q-alg/9508018, 1995 - arxiv.org
A regular vertex operator algebra is a vertex operator algebra such that any weak module
(without grading) is a direct sum of ordinary irreducible modules. In this paper we give …
