Abstract

We construct orbifolds of holomorphic lattice vertex operator algebras for non-abelian finite automorphism groups G. To this end, we construct twisted modules for automorphisms g together with the projective representation of the centralizer of g on the twisted module. This allows us to extract the irreducible modules of the fixed-point VOA VG, and to compute their characters and modular transformation properties. We then construct holomorphic VOAs by adjoining such modules to VG. Applying these methods to extremal lattices in d=48 and d=72, we construct more than fifty new holomorphic VOAs of central charge 48 and 72, many of which have a very small number of light states.<br />Journal of Algebra, 585<br />ISSN:0021-8693<br />ISSN:1090-266X
