On the operator content of nilpotent orbifold models

Publication date 12 December 1994

Abstract: Let

V

be a simple vertex operator algebra and

G

be a finite nilpotent group of automorphisms of

V .

We prove the following in this paper: (1) There is a Galois correspondence between subgroups of

G

and the vertex operator subalgebras of

V

which contain

V^{G}

given by the map

H m a p s t o V^{H} .

(2) Assume that for every Gin G
