Lattice-realization conjecture for even cyclic permutations of free fermions

Let VferV_{fer} denote the free fermion vertex operator superalgebra, let kk be an even positive integer, and let VZαV_{\mathbb{Z}\alpha} be the rank-one lattice vertex operator superalgebra corresponding under boson–fermion correspondence to two free fermions. The lattice-realization conjecture. The (1  2    k)(1\;2\;\cdots\;k) permutation automorphism of VferkV_{fer}^{\otimes k} is conjugate, under boson–fermion correspondence, to a lift of a lattice isometry on VZαk/2V_{\mathbb{Z}\alpha}^{\otimes k/2}. The conjecture would identify the permutation-twisted free-fermion construction with a lattice-isometry-twisted construction; the paper establishes the two-fermion case, while the general even case remains open.
