Kac–Wakimoto principal-admissible character transformation conjecture

Let g^\widehat{\mathfrak{g}} be an affine Lie superalgebra, let φ:g^g^\varphi:\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}\to\widehat{\mathfrak{g}} be a compatible homomorphism, and let Λh^\Lambda\in\widehat{\mathfrak h}^* be a corresponding principal admissible weight. Define

Λ0=φ(Λ+ρ^)ρ^.\Lambda^0=\varphi^*(\Lambda+\widehat\rho)-\widehat\rho.

Let R^+\widehat R^ + and chΛ+\operatorname{ch}^ + _\Lambda denote the affine (super)denominators and normalized (super)characters. Kac–Wakimoto's principal-admissible conjecture. The normalized character identity

(R^+chΛ+)(h)=(R^+chΛ0+)(φ1(h)),hh^,(\widehat R^ + \operatorname{ch}^ + _\Lambda)(h)=(\widehat R^ + \operatorname{ch}^ + _{\Lambda^0})(\varphi^{-1}(h)),\qquad h\in\widehat{\mathfrak h},

should hold. The source says that the analogous statement is proved for affine Lie algebras, while the Lie-superalgebra version is the conjectural extension; it also records that a related special case was proved in the cited work.
