Sigma involutions associated with parafermion vertex operator algebra K(\mathfrak{sl}_2,k)

Publication date 17 December 2020

Abstract: An irreducible module for the parafermion vertex operator algebra

K (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}, k)

is said to be of

s i g m a

-type if an automorphism of the fusion algebra of

K (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}, k)

of order

k

is trivial on it. For any integer

k g e 3

, we show that there exists an automorphism of order

2

of the subalgebra of the fusion algebra of

K (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}, k)^{l a n g l e h e t a a n g l e}

spanned by the irreducible direct summands of

s i g m a

-type irreducible

K (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}, k)

-modules, where

h e t a

is an involution of

K (m a t h f r a k {s l}_{2}, k)

. We discuss some examples of such an automorphism as well.
