Braided Tensor Categories related to $\mathcal{B}_p$ Vertex Algebras

The $\mathcal{B}_p$-algebras are a family of vertex operator algebras parameterized by $p\in \mathbb Z_{\geq 2}$. They are important examples of logarithmic CFTs and appear as chiral algebras of type $(A_1, A_{2p-3})$ Argyres-Douglas theories. The first member of this series, the $\mathcal{B}_2$-algebra, are the well-known symplectic bosons also often called the $\beta\gamma$ vertex operator algebra. We study categories related to the $\mathcal{B}_p$ vertex operator algebras using their conjectural relation to unrolled restricted quantum groups of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. These categories are braided, rigid and non semi-simple tensor categories. We list their simple and projective objects, their tensor products and their Hopf links. The latter are successfully compared to modular data of characters thus confirming a proposed Verlinde formula of David Ridout and the second author.

Modularity of logarithmic parafermion vertex algebras

The parafermionic cosets $C_k = \mathrm{Com} (H, L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2) )$ are studied for negative admissible levels $k$, as are certain infinite-order simple current extensions $B_k$ of $C_k$. Under the assumption that the tensor theory considerations of Huang, Lepowsky and Zhang apply to $C_k$, all irreducible $C_k$- and $B_k$-modules are obtained from those of $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$, as are the Grothendieck fusion rules of these irreducible modules. Notably, there are only finitely many irreducible $B_k$-modules. The irreducible $C_k$- and $B_k$-characters are computed and the latter are shown, when supplemented by pseudotraces, to carry a finite-dimensional representation of the modular group. The natural conjecture then is that the $B_k$ are $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebras.

On Infinite Order Simple Current Extensions of Vertex Operator Algebras

We construct a direct sum completion $\mathcal{C}_{\oplus}$ of a given braided monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ which allows for the rigorous treatment of infinite order simple current extensions of vertex operator algebras as seen in \cite{CKL}. As an example, we construct the vertex operator algebra $V_L$ associated to an even lattice $L$ as an infinite order simple current extension of the Heisenberg VOA and recover the structure of its module category through categorical considerations.

Extensions of modules for twisted current algebras

Twisted current algebras are fixed point subalgebras of current algebras under a finite group action. Special cases include equivariant map algebras and twisted forms of current algebras. Their finite-dimensional simple modules fall into two categories, those which factor through an evaluation map and those which do not. We show that there are no nontrivial extensions between finite-dimensional simple evaluation and non-evaluation modules. We then compute extensions between any pair of finite-dimensional simple modules for twisted current algebras, and use this information to determine the block decomposition for the category. In the special case of twisted forms, this decomposition can be described in terms of maps to the fundamental group of the underlying root system.

Extensions des modules de dimension finie pour les algèbres de courants tordues

Ce mémoire traite de la théorie des représentations d'une certaine classe d'algèbres de Lie de dimension infinie, les algèbres de courants tordues. L'objet du travail est d'obtenir une classification des blocs d'extensions d'une catégorie de modules de dimension finie pour une algèbre de courants tordue donnée. Les principales sources de cette étude sont les récentes classifications des modules simples de dimension finie pour ces algèbres et des blocs d'extensions pour les modules de dimension finie dans le cas des algèbres d'applications équivariantes. Ces algèbres de courants tordues comprennent entre autres les familles d'algèbres de Lie des formes tordues et des algèbres d'applications équivariantes, donc aussi les incontournables généralisations multilacets, tordues ou non, de la théorie de Kac-Moody affine. / / / / / This master's thesis is about the representation theory of a certain class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, the twisted current algebras. The object of this work is to obtain a classification of the extension blocks of the category of finite dimensional modules for a given twisted current algebra. The principal motivations for this study are the recent classifications of simple finite dimensional modules for these algebras and of the extension blocks of the category of finite dimensional modules in the case of equivariant map algebras. The class of twisted current algebras includes, amongst others, the families of Lie algebras of twisted forms and equivariant map algebras, therefore the key multiloop generalisations, twisted or not, of the affine Kac-Moody setting.
