On rationality of $\mathbb{C}$-graded vertex algebras and applications to Weyl vertex algebras under conformal flow

Abstract

Using the Zhu algebra for a certain category of $\mathbb{C}$-graded vertex algebras $V$, we prove that if $V$ is finitely $\Omega$-generated and satisfies suitable grading conditions, then $V$ is rational, i.e. has semi-simple representation theory, with one dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. Here $\Omega$ denotes the vectors in $V$ that are annihilated by lowering the real part of the grading. We apply our result to the family of rank one Weyl vertex algebras with conformal element ${\omega }_{\mu }$ parameterized by $\mu \in \mathbb{C}$, and prove that for certain non-integer values of $\mu$, these vertex algebras, which are non-integer graded, are rational, with one dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. In addition, we generalize this result to appropriate $\mathbb{C}$-graded Weyl vertex algebras of arbitrary ranks.
