Bimodules associated to vertex operator algebras

Let V be a vertex operator algebra and m, n ≥ 0. We construct an A _n (V)-A _m (V)-bimodule A _n,m (V) which determines the action of V from the level m subspace to level n subspace of an admissible V-module. We show how to use A _n,m (V) to construct naturally admissible V-modules from A _m (V)-modules. We also determine the structure of A _n,m (V) when V is rational.
