The authors consider unitary simple vertex operator algebras whose vertex operators satisfy certain energy bounds and a strong form of locality and call them st

The theory of vertex operator algebras and their representations has been showing its power in the solution of concrete mathematical problems and in the underst

* Introduces the fundamental theory of vertex operator algebras and its basic techniques and examples. * Begins with a detailed presentation of the theoretical

This work is motivated by and develops connections between several branches of mathematics and physics--the theories of Lie algebras, finite groups and modular

Vertex operator algebras are a class of algebras underlying a number of recent constructions, results, and themes in mathematics. These algebras can be understo
