Brylinski's positive-energy representation conjecture for elliptic cohomology
Brylinski's positive-energy representation conjecture for elliptic cohomology
Let be an integer, and let be the free abelian group generated by the isomorphism classes of irreducible positive-energy representations of the universal central extension of the free loop group at level . Let denote the 7-connected cover of , and let be the elliptic character. Brylinski's conjecture. There is an integer depending on and and an additive map
such that, for every , its elliptic character agrees with the associated bundle
This conjectures that positive-energy loop-group representations define classes in topological modular forms whose elliptic characters recover the expected associated bundles. The source attributes the underlying idea to Brylinski; the supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been proved or disproved.
