Sigma involutions associated with parafermion vertex operator algebra $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k)$

Abstract

An irreducible module for the parafermion vertex operator algebra $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k)$ is said to be of $\sigma$-type if an automorphism of the fusion algebra of $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k)$ of order $k$ is trivial on it. For any integer $k\ge 3$, we show that there exists an automorphism of order $2$ of the subalgebra of the fusion algebra of $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k{)}^{⟨\theta ⟩}$ spanned by the irreducible direct summands of $\sigma$-type irreducible $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k)$-modules, where $\theta$ is an involution of $K({\mathfrak{sl}}_2,k)$. We discuss some examples of such an automorphism as well.
