Construction and classification of holomorphic vertex operator algebras

TLDR
In this article, an orbifold theory for finite, cyclic groups acting on holomorphic vertex operator algebras was developed, and it was shown that Schellekens' classification of $V_1$-structures of meromorphic conformal field theories of central charge 24 is a theorem on vertex operators.
Abstract
We develop an orbifold theory for finite, cyclic groups acting on holomorphic vertex operator algebras. Then we show that Schellekens' classification of $V_1$-structures of meromorphic conformal field theories of central charge 24 is a theorem on vertex operator algebras. Finally we use these results to construct some new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 as lattice orbifolds.

Logarithmic conformal field theory, log-modular tensor categories and modular forms

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the more general class of logarithmic conformal field theories and vertex operator algebras and suggest that their modular pillar are trace functions with insertions corresponding to intertwiners of the projective cover of the vacuum, and the categorical pillar are finite tensor categories.

Vertex algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, and the Monster.

TL;DR: An integral form is constructed for the universal enveloping algebra of any Kac-Moody algebras that can be used to define Kac's groups over finite fields, some new irreducible integrable representations, and a sort of affinization of anyKac-moody algebra.
