Recall the corresponding setting (following, for example,[BK]). Let V be a vertex algebra (equivalently vacuum representation of the vertexalgebra), and σ be a automorphism of V of finite order l.
Then V = ⊕Vk , whereVk = {v ∈ V |σv = exp(2πik/l)v}. The σ-twisted module is a vector-space M endowed with a linear map from V to the space of currentsXam (v)z −m−1 , v ∈ V, am (v) ∈ End(M ).v 7→ Av (z) =(6.125)1m∈ l ZSuch correspondence should be σ-equivariant, namelyAσv (z) = Av (e2πi z)(6.126)giving the boundary conditions for the currents, and agree with the vacuum vectorand relations in V . In particular, it follows from the σ-equivariancy (6.126), that ifv ∈ Vk then Av (z) ∈ z −k/l C[[z, z −1 ]].Consider now a Lie group G (either GL(N ) or SO(2N ), N ≥ 2), with g = Lie(G)being the corresponding Lie algebra.
Denote by V(g) the irreducible vacuum representation of bg of the level one. This space has a structure of the vertex algebra i.e.for any v ∈ V(g) one can assign the current Av (z), this space of currents is generatedby the currents Jαβ (z) from sect. 6.3.The vertex algebra V(g) is a lattice vertex algebra. Let Qg denote the root latticeof g, and introduce rank of g bosonic fields with thej (w) = −δij log(z −P OPE ϕi (z)ϕ12w) + reg, and the stress-energy tensor T (z) = − 2 j : ∂ϕj (z) :, then the currents ofV(g) can be presented in the bosonized formYX:∂ ai,m ϕi exp(iαi ϕi (z)) :,(6.127)i,m1736.
Twist-field representations of W-algebras, exact conformal blocks and character identitieswhere α = (α1 , . . . , αn ) ∈ Qg and ai,m are any positivePintegers, while the stress-energy12|0i = τ ∈ V(g) (here Jj,ntensor corresponding to standard conformal vector 2 Jj,−1are modes of the field i∂ϕj (z)). The group G acts on V (g), and in order to use latticealgebra description we consider only the subgroup NG (h) ⊂ G which preserves theCartan subalgebra.In [BK] the representations of the lattice vertex algebra, twisted by automorphisms, arise from isometries of the lattice Qg .
Here we restrict ourself to the isometries provided by action of the Weyl group W (this case was actually considered in [KP]without language of twisted representations). Let s ∈ W be an element of the Weylgroup, by g we denote its lifting to G, in other words g ∈ NG (h) such that adjointaction g on h coincides with s. We consider representation twisted by such g. Settingof [BK] and [KP] works for special g, for example such g should have finite order,but we will expand this to the generic g ∈ NG (h).
Clearly, the conformal vector τ isinvariant under the adjoint action of NG (h).The g-twisted representations of V (g) in [BK] are defined as a direct sum of twistedrepresentations of bh. By {e2πiθAdj,k } we denote eigenvalues of s, or of the adjoint actiongadj on h, we set −1 < θAdj,k ≤ 0, by {Jk ∈ h} - the corresponding eigenvectors, anddefine the currentsXJk (z) =Jk,θAdj,k +n z −θAdj,k −n−1(6.128)n∈ZA g-twisted representations of the Heisenberg algebra bh is a Fock module Fµ with thehighest weight vector vµJk,θAdj,k +n vµ = 0, n > 0,Jk,0 vµ = µ(Jk )vµ , if θAdj,k = 0.(6.129)generated by creation operators Jk,θAdj,k +n , n ≤ 0.
Here µ ∈ h∗0 , where h0 is gadj invariant subspace of h.It has been proven in [BK] that twisted representations of V (g) have the structureM (s, µ0 ) = ⊕µ∈µ0 +πs Qg Fµ ⊗ Cd(s)(6.130)for certain finite set of µ0 ∈ h∗0 . Here πs denotes projection from h∗ to h∗0 , corresponding to the element s ∈ W for the chosen adjoint action gadj .
For any root α thecorresponding current Jα (z) acts from Fµ to Fµ+πs α and equals to the linear combination of vertex operators. Number d(s) denotes the defect of the element s ∈ W , itssquare is defined by(6.131)d(s)2 = |(Qg ∩ h⊥0 )/(1 − s)Pg |.Here Pg denotes weight lattice of g, h⊥0 denotes the space of linear functions vanishingon h0 , | · | stands for number of elements in the group. It can be proven that for anys the numbers d(s) is integer. In our case (GL(N ) and SO(n) groups) this numberalways equals to some power of 2.Formula (6.130) allows to calculate the character of module M i.e.

Characters from lattice algebras constructionswhere ∆µ is an eigenvalue of L0 on the vector vµ . The value of ∆µ consists of twocontributions. The first comes from the terms with θAdj = 0, and, as follows from(6.129), is equal to 12 (µ, µ). The second contribution comes from the normal ordering.The vectors Jk ∈ h, corresponding to θAdj,k 6= 0 can be always arranged into orthogonalpairs (J1 , J10 ), (J2 , J20 ), . .

The last term in the r.h.s., which appears due to [Jk,n+θ , Jk0 ,m−θ ] =(n + θ)δn+m,0 also gives a nontrivial contribution to the action of L0 on highest vectorvµ , sinceX(1 + θ)wθ z −θ + (−θ)w1+θ z −1−θwn+θ−1=(n + θ) n+θ+1 =z(z − w)2n>0(6.134)1θ(1 + θ)=−+ regz→w (z − w)22w2Altogether one getsX θAdj,k (1 + θAdj,k )1∆µ = (µ, µ) −24k(6.135)and therefore, finally for the character of (6.130)L0 Trq =qM (s,µ0 )− 14PP1(µ,µ)2d(s)µ∈µ0 +πw Q qk θAdj,k (1+θAdj,k )QN Q∞θAdj,i +n )n=1 (1 − qi=1(6.136)Recall that in the the initial weight µ0 in the setting of [BK] should belong to thefinite set in h∗0 (or h∗0 /πW Q).
But we will generalize such representations and take anyµ0 ∈ h∗0 . This can be viewed as a twisting by more general elements g ∈ NG (h), whichcan have infinite order. Actually the corresponding elements are representatives ofthe conjugacy classes of NG (h) used in sect. 6.4.Calculation of charactersGL(N ) case The root lattice Qgl(N ) = QAN −1 is generated by vectors {ei − ej },where {e1 , . . .

Assume that s ∈ Wis product of disjoint cycles of lengths l1 , . . . , lK , then without loss of generality theaction of such elements can be defined as (e1 7→ e2 7→ . . . 7→ el1 7→ e1 ), (el1 +1 7→el1 +2 7→ . . . 7→ el1 +l2 7→ el1 +1 ), . . ..In this case h∗0 (the s-invariant part of h∗ ) is generated by the vectorsf1 = e1 + . . . + el1 , f2 = el1 +1 + .
