Modularity in Orbifold Theory for Vertex Operator Superalgebras

This paper is about the orbifold theory for vertex operator superalgebras. Given a vertex operator superalgebra V and a finite automorphism group G of V, we show that the trace functions associated to the twisted sectors are holomorphic in the upper half plane for any commuting pairs in G under the C₂-cofinite condition. We also establish that these functions afford a representation of the full modular group if V is C₂-cofinite and g-rational for any g ∈ G.Supported by NSF grants, China NSF grant 10328102 and a Faculty research grant from the University of California at Santa Cruz
