On the structure of framed vertex operator algebras and their pointwise frame stabilizers (Q2466839)

In the paper under review, the authors study general properties of framed vertex operator algebras. They use the theory of simple current extensions of vertex operator algebras developed in [\textit{H. Yamauchi}, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 189, No. 1--3, 315--328 (2004; Zbl 1052.17017)]. They prove that every framed vertex operator algebra is a simple current extension of the associated binary code vertex operator algebra \(V_{C}\). This result is very useful for the classification of irreducible modules of framed vertex operator algebras. The authors also prove that the vertex operator algebra obtained by the \(4A\)-twisted orbifold construction of the moonshine vertex operator algebra \(V^\natural\) is isomorphic to \(V^\natural\) itself.
