Generalized Vertex Algebras
arXiv:math/0602072
Abstract
We give a short introduction to generalized vertex algebras, using the notion of polylocal fields. We construct a generalized vertex algebra associated to a vector space h with a symmetric bilinear form. It contains as subalgebras all lattice vertex algebras of rank equal to dim h and all irreducible representations of these vertex algebras.
