Heavy Heisenberg Algebras, Zero Modes and Modularity

It is known due to a result of Miyamoto that zero mode correlators of weight $1$ vectors of vertex operator algebras are quasi-modular forms, and that their generating series are Jacobi forms. In this article we generalize this to higher weight vectors. We consider weight 2 vectors that generate what we call heavy Heisenberg algebras. We prove that their zero mode correlators are a specific type of quasi-modular forms. As a consequence, they too can be summed up into a generating series with Jacobi-like modular transformation properties. As an application of our results, we sketch an argument that gives the asymptotic behavior of the dimensions of states of our VOAs.

Abstract

It is known due to a result of Miyamoto that zero mode correlators of weight $1$ vectors of vertex operator algebras are quasi-modular forms, and that their generating series are Jacobi forms. In this article we generalize this to higher weight vectors. We consider weight 2 vectors that generate what we call heavy Heisenberg algebras. We prove that their zero mode correlators are a specific type of quasi-modular forms. As a consequence, they too can be summed up into a generating series with Jacobi-like modular transformation properties. As an application of our results, we sketch an argument that gives the asymptotic behavior of the dimensions of states of our VOAs.
