Lattice vertex algebras of type ADE over fields of prime characteristic and their representations

We study lattice vertex algebras of type ADE over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of prime characteristic $p>2$ and their representations. Let $L$ be a root lattice of type ADE, and $G_{L}$ the Gram matrix of $L$. When $\det G_{L}\not \equiv 0\pmod{p}$, we establish an isomorphism between the lattice vertex algebra $V_{L,\mathbb{F}}$ and the level-one simple affine vertex algebra of the same type. Via this isomorphism, we classify the irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded modules of $V_{L,\mathbb{F}}$ viewed as an $\mathbb{N}$-graded vertex algebra. We also consider the case where $L$ is of type $A_n$ with $\det G_L=n+1\equiv 0\pmod{p}$. We show that $V_{L,\mathbb{F}}$ is not simple and determine the simple $\mathbb{N}$-graded quotient of $V_{L,\mathbb{F}}$. Furthermore, when $n+1=ap$ for some $a\in \mathbb{Z}_+$ with $\gcd(a,p)=1$, we give the classification of the irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded modules for the simple quotient of $V_{L,\mathbb{F}}$.

Twisted modules of $\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$-graded modular vertex superalgebras

In this paper, we investigate the theory of $g$-twisted modules for modular $\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$-graded vertex superalgebras over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of prime characteristic $p>2$. For a $\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$-graded vertex superalgebra $V$ and an automorphism $g$ of $V$ of finite order $T$ relatively prime to $p$, we give a twisted version of Zhu's associative algebra, denoted by $A_g(V)$. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of equivalence classes of simple $A_g(V)$-modules and the set of equivalence classes of simple $\frac{1}{T_0}\mathbb{N}$-graded $g$-twisted $V$-modules, where $T_0$ is the order of the automorphism $g\sigma$ with $\sigma$ the parity automorphism. As an application, we study twisted modules for modular vertex superalgebras associated to the affine Lie superalgebras and determine the corresponding twisted Zhu algebra. We also compute the twisted Zhu algebra for the modular Neveu-Schwarz vertex superalgebra and classify its irreducible twisted modules.

Modular Virasoro Vertex Algebras and Affine Vertex Algebras

In this paper, we study Virasoro vertex algebras and affine vertex algebras over a general field of characteristic $p>2$. More specifically, we study certain quotients of the universal Virasoro and affine vertex algebras by ideals related to the $p$-centers of the Virasoro algebra and affine Lie algebras. Among the main results, we classify their irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded modules by explicitly determining their Zhu algebras and show that these vertex algebras have only finitely many irreducible $\mathbb{N}$-graded modules and they are $C_2$-cofinite.

Symmetric Invariant Bilinear Forms on Modular Vertex Algebras

In this paper, we study contragredient duals and invariant bilinear forms for modular vertex algebras (in characteristic $p$). We first introduce a bialgebra $\mathcal{H}$ and we then introduce a notion of $\mathcal{H}$-module vertex algebra and a notion of $(V,\mathcal{H})$-module for an $\mathcal{H}$-module vertex algebra $V$. Then we give a modular version of Frenkel-Huang-Lepowsky's theory and study invariant bilinear forms on an $\mathcal{H}$-module vertex algebra. As the main results, we obtain an explicit description of the space of invariant bilinear forms on a general $\mathcal{H}$-module vertex algebra, and we apply our results to affine vertex algebras and Virasoro vertex algebras.

Heisenberg VOAs over Fields of Prime Characteristic and Their Representations

In this paper, we study Heisenberg vertex algebras over fields of prime characteristic. The new feature is that the Heisenberg vertex algebras are no longer simple unlike in the case of characteristic zero. We then study a family of simple quotient vertex algebras and we show that for each such simple quotient vertex algebra, irreducible modules are unique up to isomorphism and every module is completely reducible. To achieve our goal, we also establish a complete reducibility theorem for a certain category of modules over Heisenberg algebras.

On quasi modules at infinity for vertex algebras

A theory of quasi modules at infinity for (weak) quantum vertex algebras including vertex algebras was previously developed in \cite{li-infinity}. In this current paper, quasi modules at infinity for vertex algebras are revisited. Among the main results, we extend some technical results, to fill in a gap in the proof of a theorem therein, and we obtain a commutator formula for general quasi modules at infinity and establish a version of the converse of the aforementioned theorem.
