Ordinary modules for affine vertex operator superalgebras

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic classical Lie superalgebra and let $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$ be the corresponding affine Lie superalgebra. In this paper, we first prove that a Cartan subalgebra acts semisimply on ordinary modules for the simple affine vertex operator superalgebra $L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(k,0)$ at boundary admissible level $k$. Then we prove that the category $\mathcal{O}_{k}^{ord}(\mathfrak{g})$ of ordinary $L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(k,0)$-modules is finite, semisimple and $\mathcal{O}_{k}^{ord}(\mathfrak{g})$ is exactly the category $KL_k(\mathfrak{g})$ of finite-length generalized modules for the affine vertex operator superalgebra $L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(k,0)$.Thus $\mathcal{O}_{k}^{ord}(\mathfrak{g})$ is a braided tensor supercategory. Furthermore, we obtain the rigidity of the supercategory $\mathcal{O}_{k}^{ord}(\mathfrak{g})$ and thus it is a ribbon supercategory. Finally, we conclude that $\mathcal{O}_{k}^{ord}(\mathfrak{g})$ is a ribbon fusion supercategory.
