\(W\)-algebra \(W\)(2, 2) and the vertex operator algebra \({L(\frac{1}{2},\,0)\,\otimes\, L(\frac{1}{2},\,0)}\) (Q731276)

The authors study vertex operator algebras with the properties that \(\dim V_0=1\), \(V_1=0\) and \(\dim V_2=2\). As their main result, they proved that a simple vertex operator algebra generated by a two dimensional Griess algebra (with \(\dim V_0=1\) and \(V_1=0\)) is either isomorphic to a tensor product of two simple Virasoro VOA if \(V_2\) is semisimple or a vertex operator algebra associated to the highest module of the \(W\)-algebra \(W(2,2)\) is \(V_2\) is not semisimple. They also showed that \(L(\frac{1}2,0)\otimes L(\frac{1}2,0)\) is the unique simple rational vertex operator algebra which is \(C_2\)-cofinite and with \(\dim V_0=1\), \(V_1=0\), \(\dim V_2=2\) and central charge \(c=\tilde{c}=1\). In addition, the structure and the representations of the \(W\)-algebra \(W(2,2)\) were also studied.
