Twisted logarithmic modules of free field algebras

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

Given a non-semisimple automorphism φφ of a vertex algebra VV, the fields in a φφ-twisted VV-module involve the logarithm of the formal variable, and the action of the Virasoro operator L0L_0 on such module is not semisimple. We construct examples of such modules and realize them explicitly as Fock spaces when VV is generated by free fields. Specifically, we consider the cases of symplectic fermions (odd superbosons), free fermions, and βγβγ-system (even superfermions). In each case, we determine the action of the Virasoro algebra.
