    Twisted logarithmic modules of lattice vertex algebras

    Full text link
    Twisted modules over vertex algebras formalize the relations among twisted vertex operators and have applications to conformal field theory and representation theory. A recent generalization, called twisted logarithmic module, involves the logarithm of the formal variable and is related to logarithmic conformal field theory. We investigate twisted logarithmic modules of lattice vertex algebras, reducing their classification to the classification of modules over a certain group. This group is a semidirect product of a discrete Heisenberg group and a central extension of the additive group of the lattice.Comment: 41 pages; v2 fixed typos, added acknowledgements and several comments; v3 fixed typo

    Bosonizations of sl^2\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2 and Integrable Hierarchies

    Full text link
    We construct embeddings of sl^2\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2 in lattice vertex algebras by composing the Wakimoto realization with the Friedan-Martinec-Shenker bosonization. The Kac-Wakimoto hierarchy then gives rise to two new hierarchies of integrable, non-autonomous, non-linear partial differential equations. A new feature of our construction is that it works for any value of the central element of sl^2\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2; that is, the level becomes a parameter in the equations
