3-state Potts model and automorphisms of vertex operator algebras of order 3 (Q5942785)

Let \(L(c,0)\) be a simple vertex operator algebra (VOA) generated by a Virasoro element of central charge \(c\). It can be constructed from an irreducible representation of the Virasoro Lie algebra with central charge \(c\) and highest weight \(h=0\). The module for nonzero \(h\) generates an irreducible module \(L(c,h)\) for VOA \(L(c,0)\). The author studies VOA \(W(0)\) that contains \(L(4/5,0)\) and \(W(0)\simeq L(4/5,0)\oplus L(4/5,3)\) as a \(L(4/5,0)\)-module, and its two real forms: \(W(0)_{\mathbb{R}}\), \(W(0)^+_{\mathbb{R}}\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe author proves that these VOA are rational VOA (have only finitely many irreducible modules and every module is completely reducible), describes explicitly the irreducible modules, 6 for \(W(0)_{\mathbb{R}}\) and 4 for \(W(0)^+_{\mathbb{R}}\) and their fusion rules. As the main application it is proved that if a VOA \(V\) over \(\mathbb{C}\) contains \(W(0)\) then it has an automorphism of order 3, and if a VOA \(V_{\mathbb{R}}\) contains \(W(0)^+_\mathbb{R}\) then this automorphism of the complexification induces the automorphism of \(V_{\mathbb{R}}\).
