| Feb 28, 2023 at 11:25 | comment | added | M. Winter | Since you seem to ask about the meaning of "chiral" in the very specific context of operator algebras, and to avoid too general answers and comments, I suggest to include this context in the title. E.g. "What is the meaning of 'chiral' in the context of operator algebras?". | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 9:25 | comment | added | Estwald | @JoseArnaldoBebitaDris I've already read the wikipedia pages, but I think it's explaining in a naive way. More precisely, I want to know the meaning of chiral in the context of vertex operator algebras. In particular, I want to know why the Zhu's algebra is called chiralization. | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 9:23 | comment | added | Estwald | @Carl-FredrikNybergBrodda Yes, that's the origin of the word chiral. But I want to know the mathematical meaning. | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 9:21 | comment | added | Jose Arnaldo Bebita | @Estwald: I refer you to the following Wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality#Mathematics and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality#Physics. | |
