Towards Vertex Algebras of Krichever-Novikov Type, Part I

A categorification of the Heisenberg algebra is constructed in by Khovanov using graphical calculus, and left with a conjecture on the isomorphism between the Heisenberg algebra and Grothendieck ring of the constructed category. We give a proof of Khovanov's conjectured statement in this paper from a categorification of some deformed Heisenberg algebra.

A field algebra is a ``non-commutative'' generalization of a vertex algebra. In this paper we develop foundations of the theory of field algebras.

In this exposition, I discuss several developments in the theory of vertex operator algebras, and I include motivation for the definition.

We associate a deformation of Heisenberg algebra to the suitably normalized Yang $R$-matrix and we investigate its properties. Moreover, we construct new examples of quantum vertex algebras which possess the same representation theory as the aforementioned deformed Heisenberg algebra.

We consider the extension of the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra by all its irreducible modules. We give an elementary construction for the intertwining vertex operators and show that they satisfy a complex parametrized generalized vertex operator algebra. We illustrate some of our results with the example of integral lattice vertex operator superalgebras.

Inspired by the Borcherds' work on ``$G$-vertex algebras,'' we formulate and study an axiomatic counterpart of Borcherds' notion of $G$-vertex algebra for the simplest nontrivial elementary vertex group, which we denote by $G_{1}$. Specifically, we formulate a notion of axiomatic $G_{1}$-vertex algebra, prove certain basic properties and give certain examples, where the notion of axiomatic $G_{1}$-vertex algebra is a nonlocal generalization of the notion of vertex algebra. We...

This is the first part of the revised versions of the notes of three consecutive expository lectures given by Chongying Dong, Haisheng Li and Yi-Zhi Huang in the conference on Monster and vertex operator algebras at the Research Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Kyoto, September 4-9, 1994. In this part we review the definitions of vertex operator algebras and twisted modules, and discuss examples.

The main goals for this paper is i) to study of an algebraic structure of $\mathbb{N}$-graded vertex algebras $V_B$ associated to vertex $A$-algebroids $B$ when $B$ are cyclic non-Lie left Leibniz algebras, and ii) to explore relations between the vertex algebras $V_B$ and the rank one Heisenberg vertex operator algebra. To achieve these goals, we first classify vertex $A$-algebroids $B$ associated to given cyclic non-Lie left Leibniz algebras $B$. Next, we use the constructe...

We aim to explore if inside a quantum vertex algebras, we can find the right notion of a quantum conformal algebra.

A definition of a quantum vertex algebra, which is a deformation of a vertex algebra, was proposed by Etingof and Kazhdan in 1998. In a nutshell, a quantum vertex algebra is a braided state-field correspondence which satisfies associativity and braided locality axioms. We develop a structure theory of quantum vertex algebras, parallel to that of vertex algebras. In particular, we introduce braided n-products for a braided state-field correspondence and prove for quantum verte...
