In this paper we prove that for any commutative (but in general non-associative) algebra A with an invariant symmetric non-degenerate bilinear form there is a graded vertex algebra V = V₀ + V₂ + V₃ + ..., such that dim V₀ = 1 and V₂ contains A. We can choose V so that if A has a unit e, then 2e is t...
