Vertex algebras associated to modified regular representations of the Virasoro algebra (Q411647): Difference between revisions

In the paper under review, the authors construct a family of vertex operator algebras with central charge \(26\). They start with two copies of the Virasoro vertex operator algebras \(L(c,0)\) and \(L(\bar{c},0)\) such that \[ c = 13 - 6 \varkappa - 6 \varkappa^{-1}, \;\bar c = 13 + 6 \varkappa + 6 \varkappa^{-1} \qquad (\varkappa \in \mathbb C \setminus \mathbb Q). \] Then they consider \(L(c,0) \otimes L(\bar{c},0)\)-module \[ W= \bigoplus_{\lambda \in {\mathbb N} } L(c, \Delta(\lambda) ) \otimes L(\bar{c}, \bar{\Delta}(\lambda)) \] where highest weights are \[ \Delta (\lambda) = \frac{\lambda (\lambda +2) }{ 4\varkappa } - \frac{\lambda}{2}, \quad \bar{\Delta} (\lambda) = -\frac{\lambda (\lambda +2) }{ 4\varkappa } - \frac{\lambda}{2}. \] The authors show that \(W\) carries the structure of a vertex operator algebra. The vertex operators are constructed from intertwining operators for Virasoro vertex operator algebras. The authors also obtain certain results on fusion rules for Virasoro vertex operator algebras and new hypergeometric identities.
