Abstract
In this thesis we develop an orbifold theory for a finite, cyclic group G acting on a suitably regular, holomorphic vertex operator algebra V. To this end we describe the fusion algebra of the fixed-point vertex operator subalgebra V^G and show that V^G has group-like fusion. Then we solve the extension problem for vertex operator algebras with group-like fusion. We use these results to construct five new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 as lattice orbifolds, contributing to the classification of the V_1-structures of suitably regular, holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24. As another application we present the BRST construction of ten Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator identities are completely reflective automorphic products of singular weight.
