Twisted representations of vertex operator algebras

Abstract

Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra and $g$ an automorphism of finite order. We construct an associative algebra $A_g(V)$ and a pair of functors between the category of $A_g(V)$-modules and a certain category of admissible $g$-twisted $V$-modules. In particular, these functors exhibit a bijection between the simple modules in each category. We give various applications, including the fact that the complete reducibility of admissible $g$-twisted modules implies both the finite-dimensionality of homogeneous spaces and the finiteness of the number of simple $g$-twisted modules.
