| Research Abstract |
Orbifolds by automorphisms of vertex operator algebras associated with positive definite even lattices were studied and the following results were obtained.
(1)Irreducible twisted modules with respect to an automorphism of a lattice vertex operator algebra lifted from a fixed point free isometry of a lattice were classified.
(2)A vertex operator algebra associated with √2 times a root lattice of type A_2 was studied. It was shown that the orbifold by a certain automorphism of order 3 possesses an order 3 symmetry. The relation of the symmetry and 3A elements of the monster was discussed.
(3)A vertex operator algebra associated with √2 times a root lattice of type A_l for a general rank l was studied. A parafermion algebra was constructed inside the vertex operator algebra.
(4)A W_3 algebra of central charge 6/5 was constructed inside an orbifold by an order 3 automorphism of a vertex operator algebra associated with √2 times a root lattice of type A_2. Its irreducible modules were classified also.
(5)A vertex operator algebra, which is called a tricritical 3-state Potts model in physics, was constructed inside a vertex operator algebra associated with √2 times a root lattice of type E_6. Moreover, its irreducible modules were classified and the fusion rules were determined.
