Twist vertex operators for twisted modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We introduce and study twist vertex operators for a (lower-bounded generalized) twisted modules for a grading-restricted vertex (super)algebra. We prove duality, weak associativity, a Jacobi identity, a generalized commutator formula, generalized weak commutativity, and convergence and commutativity for products of more than two operators involving twist vertex operators. These properties of twist vertex operators play an important role in the author's recent general, direct and explicit construction of (lower-bounded generalized) twisted modules.


In this article the author studies what he calls \textit{twist vertex operators} \((Y^g)_{WV}^W\) for (lower-bounded generalised) twisted modules \(W\) for grading-restricted vertex (super)algebras \(V\). These are obtained by applying the skew-symmetry isomorphism \(\Omega_+\) to the twisted vertex operators \(Y_W^g\) and they are intertwining operators of type \(\binom{W}{W\,V}\) [\textit{Y.-Z. Huang}, J. Algebra 493, 346--380 (2018; Zbl 1425.17041)]. The author then proves duality, weak associativity, a Jacobi identity, a generalised commutator formula, generalised weak commutativity and convergence and commutativity for products of more than two operators with one operator being a twist vertex operator. The results in this paper are relevant for Huang's general construction of lower-bounded generalised twisted modules for grading-restricted vertex (super)algebras [\textit{Y.-Z. Huang}, Commun. Math. Phys. 377, No. 2, 909--945 (2020; Zbl 1448.17030)]. Indeed, the generalised commutator formula and the generalised weak commutativity are used as main assumptions on the ``twist fields in this construction.
