The commutant of $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)$ in the vertex operator algebra $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(1,0)^{\otimes n}$

Abstract

We study the commutant $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)^c$ of $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)$ in the vertex operator algebra $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(1,0)^{\otimes n}$, for $n\geq 2$. The main results include a complete classification of all irreducible $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)^c$-modules and a proof that $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)^c$ is a rational vertex operator algebra. As a consequence, every irreducible $L_{\widehat{\frak{sl}}_{2}}(n,0)^c$-module arises from the coset construction as conjectured in \cite{LS}.
