Fourvolutions and automorphism groups of orbifold lattice vertex operator algebras (2103.07035v1)

Abstract: Let $L$ be an even positive definite lattice with no roots, i.e., $L(2)={x\in L\mid (x|x)=2}=\emptyset$. Let $g\in O(L)$ be an isometry of order $4$ such that $g^2=-1$ on $L$. In this article, we determine the full automorphism group of the orbifold vertex operator algebra $V_L^{\hat{g}}$. As our main result, we show that $Aut(V_L^{\hat{g}})$ is isomorphic to $N_{Aut(V_L)}(\langle \hat{g}\rangle)/ \langle\hat{g}\rangle $ unless $L\cong \sqrt{2}E_8$ or $BW_{16}$.
