Abstract: In this paper we prove that for any commutative (but in general non-associative) algebra $A$ with an invariant symmetric non-degenerate bilinear form there is a graded vertex algebra $V=V_{0}oplus{V}_{2}oplus{V}_{3}oplus\mathrm{...}$, such that $dim{V}_0=1$ and $V_2$ contains $A$. We can choose $V$ so that if $A$ has a unit $e$, then $2e$ is the Virasoro element of $V$, and if $G$ is a finite group of automorphisms of $A$, then $G$ acts on $V$ as well. In addition, the algebra $V$ can be chosen with a non-degenerate invariant bilinear form, in which case it is simple.

Review text

In the paper under review, the authors presents a construction of a graded vertex algebra from an commutative algebra. He proves that for any commutative algebra \(A\) with an invariant symmetric non-degenerate bilinear form there is a graded vertex algebra \(V = V_0 \oplus V_2 \oplus V_3\oplus \cdots \), such that \(\dim V_0 = 1\) and \(A \subset V_2\). If \(A\) has a unit \(e\), then \(V\) can be chosen so that \(2e\) is the Virasoro element of \(V\). Moreover if \(G\) is a finite group of automorphisms of \(A\), then \(V\) can be chosen so that \(G\) acts on \(V\). Connections with Griess algebras are also discussed. The paper contains many important constructions and concepts, which are very useful for the theory of vertex algebras and Griess algebras.
