Abstract

For every m ∈ ℂ ∖ {0, −2} and every nonnegative integer k we define the vertex operator (super)algebra D m,k having two generators and rank $$\frac{{3m}}{{m + 2}}$$ . If m is a positive integer then D m,k can be realized as a subalgebra of a lattice vertex algebra. In this case, we prove that D m,k is a regular vertex operator (super) algebra and find the number of inequivalent irreducible modules.
