YZ Huang, J Lepowsky - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the construction of braided tensor categories and modular tensor categories from
representations of vertex operator algebras, which correspond to chiral algebras in physics …

Regularity of fixed-point vertex operator subalgebras

S Carnahan, M Miyamoto - arXiv preprint arXiv:1603.05645, 2016 - arxiv.org
We show that if $ T $ is a simple non-negatively graded regular vertex operator algebra with
a nonsingular invariant bilinear form and $\sigma $ is a finite order automorphism of $ T …

Logarithmic conformal field theory: a lattice approach

AM Gainutdinov, JL Jacobsen, N Read… - Journal of Physics A …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Logarithmic conformal field theories (LCFT) play a key role, for instance, in the description of
critical geometrical problems (percolation, self-avoiding walks, etc), or of critical points in …

Tensor categories for vertex operator superalgebra extensions

T Creutzig, S Kanade, R McRae - arXiv preprint arXiv:1705.05017, 2017 - arxiv.org
Let $ V $ be a vertex operator algebra with a category $\mathcal {C} $ of (generalized)
modules that has vertex tensor category structure, and thus braided tensor category …

Trialities of orthosymplectic W-algebras

T Creutzig, AR Linshaw - Advances in Mathematics, 2022 - Elsevier
Trialities of W-algebras are isomorphisms between the affine cosets of three different W-
(super) algebras, and were first conjectured in the physics literature by Gaiotto and Rapčák …

Schur–Weyl duality for Heisenberg cosets

T Creutzig, S Kanade, AR Linshaw, D Ridout - Transformation Groups, 2019 - Springer
Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra containing a rank n Heisenberg vertex algebra H
and let C= Com (H; V) be the coset of H in V. Assuming that the module categories of interest …

On ribbon categories for singlet vertex algebras

T Creutzig, R McRae, J Yang - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We construct two non-semisimple braided ribbon tensor categories of modules for each
singlet vertex operator algebra M (p), p≥ 2. The first category consists of all finite-length M …

Gluing vertex algebras

T Creutzig, S Kanade, R McRae - Advances in Mathematics, 2022 - Elsevier
We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor
equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for C a braided …

Ribbon tensor structure on the full representation categories of the singlet vertex algebras

T Creutzig, R McRae, J Yang - Advances in Mathematics, 2023 - Elsevier
We show that the category of finite-length generalized modules for the singlet vertex algebra
M (p), p∈ Z> 1, is equal to the category OM (p) of C 1-cofinite M (p)-modules, and that this …
