Finite growth representations of infinite Lie conformal algebras
We classify all finite growth representations of all infinite rank
subalgebras of the Lie conformal algebra gc_1 that contain a Virasoro
subalgebra.Comment: 22 page
Integrable highest weight modules over affine superalgebras and Appell's function
We classify integrable irreducible highest weight representations of
non-twisted affine Lie superalgebras. We give a free field construction in the
level~1 case. The analysis of this construction shows, in particular, that in
the simplest case of the level~1 affine superalgebra the
characters are expressed in terms of the Appell elliptic function. Our results
demonstrate that the representation theory of affine Lie superalgebras is quite
different from that of affine Lie algebras.Comment: 54 page
Vertex Operator Superalgebras and Their Representations
After giving some definitions for vertex operator SUPERalgebras and their
modules, we construct an associative algebra corresponding to any vertex
operator superalgebra, such that the representations of the vertex operator
algebra are in one-to-one correspondence with those of the corresponding
associative algebra. A way is presented to decribe the fusion rules for the
vertex operator superalgebras via modules of the associative algebra. The above
are generalizations of Zhu's constructions for vertex operator algebras. Then
we deal in detail with vertex operator superalgebras corresponding to
Neveu-Schwarz algebras, super affine Kac-Moody algebras, and free fermions. We
use the machinery established above to find the rationality conditions,
classify the representations and compute the fusion rules. In the appendix, we
present explicit formulas for singular vectors and defining relations for the
integrable representations of super affine algebras. These formulas are not
only crucial for the theory of the corresponding vertex operator superalgebras
and their representations, but also of independent interest.Comment: 50 pages, to appear in Contemporary Mathematic
