A $\Z_3$-orbifold theory of lattice vertex operator algebra and $\Z_3$-orbifold constructions

TL;DR

This paper investigates the structure of $ ext{Z}_3$-orbifold constructions of lattice vertex operator algebras, proving module reducibility and $C_2$-cofiniteness under certain conditions, and provides explicit examples including the moonshine VOA.

Contribution

It establishes conditions for module reducibility and $C_2$-cofiniteness in $ ext{Z}_3$-orbifold VOAs and constructs explicit examples such as the moonshine VOA and a new CFT.

Findings

All $V^\sigma$-modules are completely reducible under certain conditions.

$V_L^{\sigma}$ is $C_2$-cofinite for lattice VOAs with automorphisms from triality.

Explicit $ ext{Z}_3$-orbifold examples include the moonshine VOA and a new CFT in Schellekens' list.

Abstract

Let $V$ be a simple VOA of CFT-type satisfying $V'\cong V$ and $\sigma$ a finite automorphism of $V$. We prove that if all $V$-modules are completely reducible and a fixed point subVOA $V^\sigma$ is $C_2$-cofinite, then all $V^\sigma$-modules are completely reducible and every simple $V^{\sigma}$-module appears in some twisted or ordinary $V$-modules as a $V^{\sigma}$-submodule. We also prove that $V_L^{\sigma}$ is $C_2$-cofinite for any lattice VOA $V_L$ and $\sigma\in \Aut(V_L)$ lifted from any triality automorphism of $L$. Using these results, we present two $Z_3$-orbifold constructions as examples. One is the moonshine VOA $V^{\natural}$ and the other is a new CFT No.32 in Schellekens' list.
