The thesis consists of two parts. The first part deals with the connection among rationality, regularity and $C_2$-cofiniteness of vertex operator algebras. It is proved that if any $Z$-graded weak module for a vertex operator algebra V is completely reducible, then V is rational and $C_2$-cofinite. That is, V is regular. This gives a natural characterization of regular vertex operator algebras. Motivated by classification of rational vertex operator algebras with central charge c = 1. We compute the quantum dimensions of irreducible modules of the rational and C2-cofinite vertex operator algebra $V_{L_2}^{A_4}$ in the other part.This result will be used to determine the fusion rules for this algebra.Read More
