Abstract

For a vertex operator algebraV and a vertex operator subalgebraV′ which is invariant under an automorphismg ofV of finite order, we introduce ag-twisted induction functor from the category ofg-twistedV′-modules to the category ofg-twistedV-modules. This functor satisfies the Frobenius reciprocity and transitivity. The results are illustrated withV′ being theg-invariants in simpleV orV′ beingg-rational.
