Abstract: (AIP)
Using the Zhu algebra for a certain category of C-graded vertex algebras V, we prove that if V is finitely Ω-generated and satisfies suitable grading conditions, then V is rational, i.e., it has semi-simple representation theory, with a one-dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. Here, Ω denotes the vectors in V that are annihilated by lowering the real part of the grading. We apply our result to the family of rank one Weyl vertex algebras with conformal element ωμ parameterized by μ∈C and prove that for certain non-integer values of μ, these vertex algebras, which are non-integer graded, are rational, with a one-dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. In addition, we generalize this result to appropriate C-graded Weyl vertex algebras of arbitrary ranks.
