Abstract: Let L_{B}(-5/2,0) (resp. L_{F}(-5/2,0)) be the simple vertex operator algebra associated to affine Lie algebra of type B4(1) (resp. F4(1)) with the lowest admissible half-integer level -5/2. We show that L_{B}(-5/2,0) is a vertex subalgebra of L_{F}(-5/2,0) with the same conformal vector, and that L_{F}(-5/2,0) is isomorphic to the extension of L_{B}(-5/2,0) by its only irreducible module other than itself. We also study the representation theory of L_{F}(-5/2,0), and determine the decompositions of irreducible weak L_{F}(-5/2,0)-modules from the category mathcalO into direct sums of irreducible weak L_{B}(-5/2,0)-modules.


It is known that the simple Lie algebra \(F_4\) contains three copies of the simple Lie algebra \(B_4\) as subalgebras. The author of the paper studies the analogous problem for vertex operator algebras associated with some affine Lie algebras. It is shown that the simple vertex operator algebra \(L_B(-5/2,0)\) associated with \(B_4^{(1)}\) is a vertex subalgebra of \(L_F(-5/2,0)\) associated with \(F_4^{(1)}\). Also, relations between irreducible modules of these two vertex operator algebras are discussed.
