${\mathbb{Z}}_{2k}$-code vertex operator algebras

Abstract

We study a simple, self-dual, rational, and $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra of CFT-type whose simple current modules are graded by ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2k}$. Based on those simple current modules, a vertex operator algebra associated with a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2k}$-code is constructed. The classification of irreducible modules for such a vertex operator algebra is established. Furthermore, all the irreducible modules are realized in a module for a certain lattice vertex operator algebra.
