Conformal field theories associated to regular chiral vertex operator algebras. I: Theories over the projective line (Q2387117)

Chiral vertex operator algebra is the quartet \((V,J,T,|0\rangle)\) satisfying the conditions: \(V=\oplus_{\Delta=0\sim N}V_\Delta\) is a \(N\)-graded vector space such that \(\dim V_0=1\) with a basis \(|0 \rangle\) and \(\dim V_\Delta<\infty\). \(T \in V_2\). \(J_n:V\to\text{End}_{-n}V=\{\varphi|\varphi(V_\Delta)\subseteq V_{\Delta-n}\}\) is linear. \(T(n)=J_n(T)\), \(T(0)v=\Delta v\), and \(J_0(|0\rangle) =\text{Id}_v\) give rise to a representation of the Virasolo algebra on \(V\). The authors construct conformal field theories over the projective line \({\mathfrak P}^1 ={\mathfrak C}\cup\{\infty\}\). Let \(A=\{0,1,\dots,N,\infty\}\). \(W_A =(W_a)_{a\in A}\) is the set of distinct points in \({\mathfrak P}^1\) with \(w_\infty=\infty\), \(X=X_A\) is the set of \(W_A\)'s in \(({\mathfrak P}^1)^{N +2}\), and \(Z=Z_A=\{W_A\in X_A|W_0=0, W_1=1\}\). \(M_A=\oplus_{a \in A}M_a\) by \(V\)-modules \(M_a\), \({\mathcal O}_z\): sheaf of germs of holomorphic functions on \(Z\), and \(g(V)\): current Lie algebra. Sheaves of covacua over \(Z\): \({\mathcal V}_z(M_A)={\mathcal O}_z \otimes M_A/ g_z^{\text{out}} (V) ({\mathcal O}_z\otimes M_A)\). Next \(|A|\), \(|B|\geq 3\), \(\overline A=A-\{0_A\}\), \(\overline B=B-\{\infty_B\}\), and \(C= \overline A\cup \overline B\). \(0_A,1_A, \infty_A\); \(0_B,1_B,\infty_B\in B\); \(0_B,1_A,\infty_A\in C\): fixed points. They prove the theorem: \({\mathcal V}_D(M_c)\cong\oplus_{i=0\sim r}({\mathcal V}_D^A (M_{\overline A}\otimes L_i)\otimes{\mathcal V}_D^B(L^+_i\otimes M_{\overline B}))\). \({\mathcal V}_D(M_c)\) are defined by using the trivial \({\mathfrak P}^1\)-bundle \(D\times {\mathfrak P}^1\to D\) and cross sections: \(S_a:(W_A,W_B)\to (W_A,W_B,W_a)\), \(S_b:(W_A,W_B) \to(W_A,W_B,W_b)\).
