The protected chiral algebra of the T_n SCFT for n at least 3
The protected chiral algebra of the T_n SCFT for n at least 3
Let be the four-dimensional SCFT associated to a three-punctured sphere of type , and let its protected chiral algebra be the two-dimensional chiral algebra assigned by the four-dimensional chiral algebra construction. Write for the th exterior-power representation of .
The T_n chiral algebra conjecture. The protected chiral algebra of the SCFT for any is a -algebra with the following generators: three sets of affine currents at critical level ; one current of dimension transforming in for each ; and -singlet operators , , of dimension . The dimension-two operator is a stress tensor, , with Virasoro central charge
In special cases some of these operators may be redundant.
For , the stated characterization is realized by the current algebra at the appropriate level; uniqueness is under investigation for , while the general existence and structure of the proposed -algebras remain open.
