Abstract

We study the properties of shifted vertex operator algebras, which are vertex algebras derived from a given theory by shifting the conformal vector. In this way, we are able to exhibit large numbers of vertex operator algebras which are regular (rational and $C_2$-cofinite) and yet are pathological in one way or another.
