Jacobi Identity for Vertex Algebras in Higher Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vertex algebras in higher dimensions provide an algebraic framework for investigating axiomatic quantum field theory with global conformal invariance. We develop further the theory of such vertex algebras by introducing formal calculus techniques and investigating the notion of polylocal fields. We derive a Jacobi identity which together with the vacuum axiom can be taken as an equivalent definition of vertex algebra.

A Jacobi identity for intertwining operator algebras
We find a Jacobi identity for intertwining operator algebras. Most of the main properties of genus-zero conformal field theories, including the main properties of vertex operator algebras, modules, intertwining operators, Verlinde algebras, and fusing and braiding matrices, are incorporated into this identity. We prove that intertwining operators for a suitable vertex operator algebra satisfy t...
متن کاملGeneralized Rationality and a “Jacobi Identity” for Intertwining Operator Algebras
We prove a generalized rationality property and a new identity that we call the “Jacobi identity” for intertwining operator algebras. Most of the main properties of genus-zero conformal field theories, including the main properties of vertex operator algebras, modules, intertwining operators, Verlinde algebras, and fusing and braiding matrices, are incorporated into this identity. Together with...
متن کاملOn the D-module and formal-variable approaches to vertex algebras
In a program to formulate and develop two-dimensional conformal field theory in the framework of algebraic geometry, Beilinson and Drinfeld [BD] have recently given a notion of “chiral algebra” in terms of D-modules on algebraic curves. This definition consists of a “skew-symmetry” relation and a “Jacobi identity” relation in a categorical setting, and it leads to the operator product expansion...
متن کاملSe p 19 99 Vertex operator algebras and the zeta function
We announce a new type of " Jacobi identity " for vertex operator algebras, incorporating values of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers. Using this we " explain " and generalize some recent work of S. Bloch's relating values of the zeta function with the commutators of certain operators and Lie algebras of differential operators.
متن کاملOn Replacement Axioms for the Jacobi Identity for Vertex Algebras and Their Modules
We discuss the axioms for vertex algebras and their modules, using formal calculus. Following certain standard treatments, we take the Jacobi identity as our main axiom and we recall weak commutativity and weak associativity. We derive a third, companion property that we call “weak skew-associativity.” This third property in some sense completes an S3-symmetry of the axioms, which is related to...
