Vertex operators; vertex operator algebras and related structures (17B69)

Abstract: In this paper, we try to answer the following question: given a modular tensor category $A$ with an action of a compact group $G$, is it possible to describe in a suitable sense the ``quotient category $A/G$? We give a full answer in the case when $A=vec$ is the category of vector spaces; in this case, $vec/G$ turns out to be the category of representation of Drinfeld's double $D(G)$. This should be considered as category theory analog of topological identity $pt//G=BG$. This implies a conjecture of Dijkgraaf, Vafa, E. Verlinde and H. Verlinde regarding so-called orbifold conformal field theories: if $V$ is a vertex operator algebra which has a unique irreducible module, $V$ itself, and $G$ is a compact group of automorphisms of $V$, and some not too restricitive technical conditions are satisfied, then $G$ is finite, and the category of representations of the algebra of invariants, $V^G$, is equivalent as a tensor category to the category of representations of Drinfeld's double $D(G)$. We also get some partial results in the non-holomorphic case, i.e. when $V$ has more than one simple module.
