  • Let G be a simply-connected complex Lie group with simple Lie algebra and let be its affine Lie algebra. We use intertwining operators and Knizhnik�Zamolodchikov equations to construct a family of -graded vertex operator algebras (VOAs) associated to . These vertex operator algebras contain the algebra of regular functions on G as the conformal weight 0 subspaces and are -modules of dual levels in the sense that , where h is the dual Coxeter number of . This family of VOAs was previously studied by Arkhipov�Gaitsgory and Gorbounov�Malikov�Schechtman from different points of view. We show that when k is irrational, the vertex envelope of the vertex algebroid associated to G and the level k is isomorphic to the vertex operator algebra we constructed above. The case of rational levels is also discussed
