Vertex operator algebras, minimal models, and modular linear differential equations of order 4

Abstract

In this paper we classify vertex operator algebras with three conditions which arise from Virasoro minimal models: (A) the central charge and conformal weights are rational numbers, (B) the space spanned by characters of all simple modules of a vertex operator algebra coincides with the space of solutions of a modular linear differential equation of order $4$ and (C) the dimensions of first three weight subspaces of a VOA are $1, 0$ and $1$, respectively. It is shown that vertex operator algebras which we concern have central charges $c=-46/3, -3/5, -114/7, 4/5$, and are isomorphic to minimal models for $c=-46/3, -3/5$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-graded simple current extensions of minimal models for $c=-114/7, 4/5$.
