Now we return to the setting of Chapter 5. The axioms for a generalized vertex operator algebra do not quite apply to the structure of Ω*, the vacuum space (3.29) (for the Heisenberg algebra (ĥ*)z) equipped with the relative vertex operatorsY*. In fact, the finite-dimensionality axiom (6.4) and the boundedness axiom (6.5) fail to hold in general, sinceLis not necessarily positive definite. Moreover, the Jacobi identity (5.11) (Theorem 5.1) differs from the Jacobi identity (6.12) by the insertion of the factorc(ā,b). Of course, a suitable groupGwould also have to be defined. We would like to extend our axioms so as to include this structure. Then the corresponding generalization of the duality arguments of Chapter 7 would provide an alternate duality-based proof of the Jacobi identity (5.11) (recall Remark 7.18), and in particular, of Theorems 8.6.1 and 8.8.23 of [FLM3]. (The arguments in Chapter 7 above, in the Appendix of [FLM3] and in [FHL] are not sufficiently general to give a duality-based proof of Theorem 8.8.23 of [FLM3] — the special case of (5.11) in whichh*= 0 and <ā,b> ? ∈Z— because the rational lattice in that theorem is not assumed even or integral, and has an alternating formc(·,·); in the proof of Proposition 7.16, the vectorv3is arbitrary.)
