Abstract:
We establish precise Zhu reduction formulas for Jacobi $n$-point functions which show the absence of any possible poles arising in these formulas. We then exploit this to produce results concerning the structure of strongly regular vertex operator algebras, and also to motivate new differential operators acting on Jacobi forms. Finally, we apply the reduction formulas to the Fermion model in order to create polynomials of quasi-Jacobi forms which are Jacobi forms.References
