✦ Synopsis

We formulate an interpretation of the theory of physics superselection sectors in terms of vertex operator algebra language and prove some initial results. As one of the main results we give a construction of simple currents from a weight-one primary semisimple element. By applying our results to vertex operator algebras associated to affine Lie algebras or to positive-definite even lattices, we construct their simple currents.

A theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra is being developed by Lepowsky and the author. To use this theory, one first has to verify that the vertex operator algebra satisfies certain conditions. We show in the present paper that for any vertex operator algebra containing
