Actual Lattice Reflection and Its Fixed Vertex Algebra

Abstract

Reflection on the actual ordinary-lattice fields gives a fixed vertex algebra and all-mode sign selection.

Let D have finite rank r, including r=0, an integral symmetric Gram matrix G, and even diagonal. Charges are L=(Fin(r) to Z), and B(a,b)=sum_i,j a_i G_ij b_j. The actual carrier is the finite charge sum of complex multivariate polynomials in oscillator variables X_(i,k), with i in Fin(r) and k in N. Its already constructed Y, vacuum and translation T are used throughout. Neither positivity nor nondegeneracy nor finite grading is required; degenerate and indefinite forms are included. No automorphism, cochain or desired field-compatibility law is a premise.

Theorem 1.1 (Charge reflection negates every oscillator and squares to identity).

Commentary.

Define sigma by polynomial evaluation X_(i,k) to -X_(i,k), fixing each complex constant. Define the complex-linear theta by theta(single(a,p))=single(-a,sigma(p)). This acts on every oscillator index, rather than just on charge. Polynomial induction proves sigma squared is identity; finite-charge linear extension proves theta squared is identity and gives an actual linear equivalence.

Theorem 1.2 (The actual vacuum is fixed).

Commentary.

The vacuum is single(0,1). Charge negation fixes zero and sigma fixes the constant one.

The realized lower-triangular section obeys c(a,a)=B(a,a)/2 and epsilon(a,-a)=(-1)^(B(a,a)/2). The ground formula is theta(single(a,1))=(-1)^(B(a,a)/2) smul (epsilon(a,-a) smul single(-a,1))=single(-a,1). The section-square equation is the released integral_cocycle_square result. Dong-Nagatomo, math/9808088v1, pp. 4-5 and 9, write theta(a)=a inverse times (-1)^q, q=B(a,a)/2. Bakalov-Kac, math/0402315v1, section 4.1, equations (4.18)-(4.20), Proposition 4.1 and Remark 4.1 give the lift and field context. Their positive-definite classification conclusions are outside the present hypotheses.

Theorem 1.3 (Every actual integer mode commutes with reflection).

Commentary.

For arbitrary nonhomogeneous, multi-charge states a,b and every n in Z, theta((Y(a))_n b)=(Y(theta(a)))_n theta(b). The integer n is the same on both sides.

The charged proof transports the actual creation series, exponential coefficients, translated polynomial coefficients and their exact support, then the finite raw charged convolution. The neutral proof treats the creation, zero and annihilation branches separately; polynomial differentiation anticommutes with sigma. Every divided derivative has sign minus, regardless of its derivative order.

The two contextual sums in a normal-product coefficient have finite support at the indicated actual vector. Theta transports both sums and retains the order of each composition. Induction on ordered oscillator words gives the sign (-1)^word_length. The monomial basis and finite-charge linear extension then give the displayed all-state law. Internal product compatibility is proved from these concrete generators, without assuming the desired result.

Theorem 1.4 (The actual fixed subtype is a full ungraded vertex algebra).

Commentary.

The fixed submodule is ker(thetaLinear-id). The actual vacuum belongs to it, and the all-state law closes every integer mode on fixed states. The identity T(a)=a_(-2) vacuum gives translation closure. Restrict these actual modes to the subtype; statewise lower truncation follows from the ambient field’s actual Hahn order. Their linear field map is fixedY, not an independently postulated field.

The constructor contains the actual vacuum field, creation at mode -1, creativity at every n>=0, T(vacuum)=0, [T,a_n]=-n a_(n-1), pairwise locality with an order independent of the test vector, and full integer Borcherds. Inclusion identifies each actual mode. Iterated commutator differences transport locality from the already proved ambient actual vertex algebra.

Theorem 1.5 (Full integer Borcherds and all three finite supports).

Commentary.

For fixed a,b,c and arbitrary p,q,r in Z, put mu(a,n,b)=(fixedY(a))_n b and C(k,i)=binom(k,i) for the integer binomial coefficient. For i in N, let L_i=C(p,i) mu(mu(a,r+i,b),p+q-i,c), F_i=(-1)^i C(r,i) mu(a,p+r-i,mu(b,q+i,c)), and S_i=(-1)^i C(r,i) (-1)^r mu(b,q+r-i,mu(a,p+i,c)). All three families L,F,S have finite support, and finsum_i L_i=finsum_i (F_i-S_i). Negative p,q,r are included. The residue sign (-1)^r is separate from epsilon_charge(D,a,b).

Subtype inclusion preserves each nested summand, reflects zero exactly, and hence identifies the genuine supports. It transports each of the three ambient finite-support proofs and preserves finsums by injectivity. Thus the full equality is inherited without a fixed-algebra compatibility premise or an assumption that divergent sums vanish.

Theorem 1.6 (Actual mode eigenvalues multiply).

Lean statement: D5/S3/VertexAlgebra/LatticeInvolution.mode_eigenvalue_selection

Commentary.

For arbitrary complex s,t, the explicit actual equations theta(a)=s a and theta(b)=t b imply theta(a_n b)=(st)(a_n b) for every integer n. In particular (++),(+-),(-+),(–) give signs +,-,-,+. These are state-mode selection laws; no tensor-category fusion or anomaly classification is claimed.

The inherited finite residue kernels and divided derivatives retain Scott Carnahan/vertexAlg, revision 4453e34ec390e82a0c789c731ada8f9a6e86bdea, Apache 2.0 source-header attribution. Local normal-product closure and reconstruction use Matsuo-Nagatomo, hep-th/9706118v1, Proposition 1.5.5 p. 11 and Theorem 5.4.1 p. 35, and the pinned mathlib db584cd6d46c92f209a44c0f1c829460d327499d vertex-operator infrastructure with its attribution. The concrete coefficient, word and subtype arguments here are adaptations on this actual carrier.

This result constructs an ungraded fixed vertex algebra. Conformal grading, PCT, positivity, Leech identification, twisted state-fields, intertwiners, holomorphic extension, categorical fusion, Monster identification, string theory and AdS/CFT completion remain outside this theorem. They are not prerequisites for delivery of this closed unit.
