Abstract:We apply an idea of framed vertex operator algebras to a construction of local conformal nets of (injective type III1) factors on the circle corresponding to various lattice vertex operator algebras and their twisted orbifolds. In particular, we give a local conformal net corresponding to the moonshine vertex operator algebras of Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman. Its central charge is 24, it has a trivial representation theory in the sense that the vacuum sector is the only irreducible DHR sector, its vacuum character is the modular invariant J-function and its automorphism group (the gauge group) is the Monster group. We use our previous tools such as α-induction and complete rationality to study extensions of local conformal nets.
Keywords:Algebraic quantum field theory  Conformal field theory  Monster  Moonshine  Vertex operator algebra  Subfactor
