Algebra objects in direct limit completions of compact Lie group duals and the classification of c=1 vertex operator algebras
Abstract
Let G be a complex reductive affine algebraic group with its symmetric tensor category πG of finite-dimensional rational representations. We prove that every simple commutative algebra object with at most countable dimension in the direct limit completion Ind(πG) of πG is isomorphic to the algebra πͺ(G/H) of regular functions on the homogeneous space G/H, for some reductive algebraic subgroup H of G. Then we apply this result to the theory of vertex operator algebra extensions. In particular, assuming the strong rationality of the $ \operatorname{A}_5$-orbifold of the vertex operator algebra Vβ2 associated with the rank-one root lattice β2:= β2β€, we classify all the not necessarily rational simple CFT type preunitary vertex operator algebra extensions of the simple unitary Virasoro vertex operator algebra L(1,0) with central charge c=1 satisfying a certain spectrum condition. This result is the vertex operator algebra analogue of a conformal net result by Feng Xu. Every strongly rational preunitary vertex operator algebra extension of L(1,0) satisfies the above spectrum condition because of the congruence subgroup modularity property of its characters. As a consequence, we get a complete classification result for strongly rational c=1 vertex operator algebras, up to the strong rationality of Vβ2A5.

AB - Let G be a complex reductive affine algebraic group with its symmetric tensor category π_G of finite-dimensional rational representations. We prove that every simple commutative algebra object with at most countable dimension in the direct limit completion Ind(π_G) of π_G is isomorphic to the algebra πͺ(G/H) of regular functions on the homogeneous space G/H, for some reductive algebraic subgroup H of G. Then we apply this result to the theory of vertex operator algebra extensions. In particular, assuming the strong rationality of the $ \operatorname{A}_5$-orbifold of the vertex operator algebra V_β_2 associated with the rank-one root lattice β_2:= β2β€, we classify all the not necessarily rational simple CFT type preunitary vertex operator algebra extensions of the simple unitary Virasoro vertex operator algebra L(1,0) with central charge c=1 satisfying a certain spectrum condition. This result is the vertex operator algebra analogue of a conformal net result by Feng Xu. Every strongly rational preunitary vertex operator algebra extension of L(1,0) satisfies the above spectrum condition because of the congruence subgroup modularity property of its characters. As a consequence, we get a complete classification result for strongly rational c=1 vertex operator algebras, up to the strong rationality of V_β_2^A_5.
