A Schur-Weyl type duality for twisted weak modules over a vertex algebra

Abstract: Let

V

be a vertex algebra of countable dimension,

G

a subgroup of

m A u t V

of finite order,

V^{G}

the fixed point subalgebra of

V

under the action of

G

, and

m a t h s c r S

a finite

G

-stable set of inequivalent irreducible twisted weak

V

-modules associated with possibly different automorphisms in

G

. We show a Schur--Weyl type duality for the actions of

{m a t h s c r A}_{a l p h a} (G, m a t h s c r S)

and

V^{G}

on the direct sum of twisted weak

V

-modules in

m a t h s c r S

where

{m a t h s c r A}_{a l p h a} (G, m a t h s c r S)

is a finite dimensional semisimple associative algebra associated with

G, m a t h s c r S

, and a

2

-cocycle

a l p h a

naturally determined by the

G

-action on

m a t h s c r S

. It follows as a natural consequence of the result that for any

g i n G

every irreducible

g

-twisted weak

V

-module is a completely reducible weak

V^{G}

-module.
