Abstract: (arXiv)
We construct and classify (1  2    k)(1 \; 2 \; \cdots \; k)-twisted VkV^{\otimes k}-modules for kk even and VV a vertex operator superalgebra. In particular, we show that the category of weak (1  2    k)(1 \; 2 \; \cdots \; k)-twisted VkV^{\otimes k}-modules for kk even is isomorphic to the category of weak parity-twisted VV-modules. This result shows that in the case of a cyclic permutation of even order, the construction and classification of permutation-twisted modules for tensor product vertex operator superalgebras is fundamentally different than in the case of a cyclic permutation of odd order, as previously constructed and classified by the first author. In particular, in the even order case it is the parity-twisted VV-modules that play the significant role in place of the untwisted VV-modules that play the significant role in the odd order case.
