    • A generalized vertex operator algebra for heisenberg intertwiners 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (Elsevier BV, 2012-06-01)

    • A string motivated approach to the relativistic point particle 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Sen, Siddhartha (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2003-11-20)
      Using concepts developed in string theory, Cohen, Moore, Nelson and Polchinski calculated the propagator for a relativistic point particle. Following these authors we extend the technique to include the case of closed world ...

    • The bosonic vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (2011-08)
      We discuss the partition function for the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra on a genus g Riemann surface formed by sewing handles to a Riemann sphere. In particular, it is shown how the partition can be computed by means ...

    • Exceptional Vertex Operator Algebras and the Virasoro Algebra 

      Tuite, Michael P. (2008)
      We consider exceptional vertex operator algebras for which particular Casimir vectors constructed from the primary vectors of lowest conformal weight are Virasoro descendants of the vacuum. We discuss constraints on these ...

    • Free Bosonic Vertex Operator Algebras on Genus Two Riemann Surfaces I 

      Mason, Geoffrey; Tuite, Michael P. (2009)
      We define the partition and $n$-point functions for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. We obtain closed formulas for the genus two partition function for the ...

      We define the partition and n-point functions for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. We obtain closed formulas for the genus two partition function for the Heisenberg ...

    • Free Bosonic Vertex Operator Algebras on Genus Two Riemann Surfaces II 

      Mason, Geoffrey; Tuite, Michael P. (2011)
      We continue our program to define and study $n$-point correlation functions for a vertex operator algebra $V$ on a higher genus compact Riemann surface obtained by sewing surfaces of lower genus. Here we consider Riemann ...

    • Generalised Moonshine and Abelian Orbifold Constructions 

      Tuite, Michael P. (1994)
      We consider the application of Abelian orbifold constructions in Meromorphic Conformal Field Theory (MCFT) towards an understanding of various aspects of Monstrous Moonshine and Generalised Moonshine. We review some of the ...

    • A Generalized Vertex Operator Algebra for Heisenberg Intertwiners 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (2011)
      We consider the extension of the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra by all its irreducible modules. We give an elementary construction for the intertwining vertex operators and show that they satisfy a complex parametrized ...

    • Genus Two Meromorphic Conformal Field Theory 

      Tuite, Michael P. (1999)
      We construct the genus two (or two loop) partition function for meromorphic bosonic conformal field theories. We use a sewing procedure involving two genus one tori by exploiting an explicit relationship between the genus ...

      Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (2010)
      We define the partition and $n$-point correlation functions for a vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. For the free fermion vertex operator superalgebra we obtain ...

      We define the partition and n-point correlation functions for a vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. For the free fermion vertex operator superalgebra we obtain a ...

    • Genus two partition and correlation functions for fermionic vertex operator superalgebras II 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Zuevsky, Alexander (2018-10-18)
      We define and compute the continuous orbifold partition function and a generating function for all n-point correlation functions for the rank two free fermion vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface ...

    • The Genus Two Partition Function for Free Bosonic and Lattice Vertex Operator Algebras 

      Mason, Geoffrey; Tuite, Michael P. (2007)
      We define the $n$-point function for a vertex operator algebra on a genus two Riemann surface in two separate sewing schemes where either two tori are sewn together or a handle is sewn to one torus. We explicitly obtain ...

    • Genus two virasoro correlation functions for vertex operator algebras 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Gilroy, Thomas (2016-12-06)
      We consider all genus two correlation functions for the Virasoro vacuum descendants of a vertex operator algebra. These are described in terms of explicit generating functions that can be combinatorially expressed in terms ...

    • N=2 and N=4 subalgebras of super vertex operator algebras 

      Tuite, Michael P.; Mason, Geoffrey; Yamskulna, Gaywalee (IOP Publishing, 2018-01-10)
      We develop criteria to decide if an N=2 or N=4 super conformal algebra is a subalgebra of a super vertex operator algebra in general, and of a super lattice theory in particular. We give some specific examples.
