The role of automorphisms of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in conformal field theory is examined. Two main types of applications are discussed; they are related to the enhancement and reduction of symmetry, respectively. The structures one encounters also appear in other areas of physics and mathematics. In particular, they lead to two conjectures on the sub-bundle structure of chiral blocks, and they are instrumental in the study of conformally invariant boundary conditions.

It is known that there are 48 Virasoro algebras acting on the monster conformal field theory. We call conformal field theories with such a property, which are not necessarily chiral, code conformal field theories. In this paper, we introduce a notion of a framed algebra, which is a finite-dimensional non-associative algebra, and showed that the category of framed algebras and the category of code conformal field theories are equivalent. We have also constructed a new family of integrable conformal field theories using this equivalence. These conformal field theories are expected to be useful for the study of moduli spaces of conformal field theories.
The idea of summing over all intermediate states that is central for implementing locality in quantum systems can be realized by coend constructions. In the concrete case of systems of conformal blocks for a certain class of conformal vertex algebras, one deals with coends in functor categories. Working with these coends involves quite a few subtleties which, even though they have in principle already been understood twenty years ago, have not been sufficiently appreciated by the conformal field theory community.
The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of any rational, C_2-cofinite vertex operator algebra is a congruence subgroup. In particular, the q-character of each irreducible module is a modular function on the same congruence subgroup. The Galois symmetry of the modular representations is obtained and the order of the anomaly for those modular categories satisfying some integrality conditions is determined.
Given formal differential operators $F_i$ on polynomial algebra in several variables $x_1,...,x_n$, we discuss finding expressions $K_l$ determined by the equation $exp(sum_i x_i F_i)(exp(sum_j q_j x_j)) = exp(sum_l K_l x_l)$ and their applications. The expressions for $K_l$ are related to the coproducts for deformed momenta for the noncommutative space-times of Lie algebra type and also appear in the computations with a class of star products. We find combinatorial recursions and derive formal differential equations for finding $K_l$. We elaborate an example for a Lie algebra $su(2)$, related to a quantum gravity application from the literature.
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra of Block type over $C$ with basis ${L_{alpha,i},|,alpha,iinZ}$ and brackets $[L_{alpha,i},L_{beta,j}]=(beta(i+1)-alpha(j+1))L_{alpha+beta,i+j}$. In this paper, we shall construct a formal distribution Lie algebra of $L$. Then we decide its conformal algebra $B$ with $C[partial]$-basis ${L_alpha(w),|,alphainZ}$ and $lambda$-brackets $[L_alpha(w)_lambda L_beta(w)]=(alphapartial+(alpha+beta)lambda)L_{alpha+beta}(w)$. Finally, we give a classification of free intermediate series $B$-modules.
