Simple weak modules for the fixed point subalgebra of the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra of rank 1 by an automorphism of order 2 and Whittaker vectors
Abstract
Let M(1) be the vertex operator algebra with the Virasoro element ω associated to the Heisenberg algebra of rank 1 and let M(1)+ be the subalgebra of M(1) consisting of the fixed points of an automorphism of M(1) of order 2. We classify the simple weak M(1)+-modules with a non-zero element w such that for some integer s≥ 2, ωi w∈ Cw (i= s/2+1, s/2+2,…,s-1), ωsw∈ C×w, and ωi w=0 for all i>s. The result says that any such simple weak M(1)+-module is isomorphic to some simple weak M(1)-module or to some θ-twisted simple weak M(1)-module.
