The braided equivalence conjecture for symplectic fermion representation categories

About 10 years old · traced to

Let β=e−πid/8\beta=e^{-\pi i d/8}, let SF(h)\mathcal{S}\hspace{-.65pt}\mathcal{F}(\mathfrak{h}) be the symplectic fermion category, and let V(d)ev\mathbb{V}(d)_\mathrm{ev} be the even subalgebra of the corresponding vertex operator algebra. Define the functor

F:SF(h)⟶Rep⁡(V(d)ev),X⟼(X^)ev.F:\mathcal{S}\hspace{-.65pt}\mathcal{F}(\mathfrak{h})\longrightarrow\operatorname{Rep}(\mathbb{V}(d)_\mathrm{ev}),\qquad X\longmapsto(\widehat X)_\mathrm{ev}.

Braided equivalence conjecture. For β=e−πid/8\beta=e^{-\pi i d/8}, the functor FF is a C\mathbb{C}-linear braided monoidal equivalence. This conjecture identifies the representation category of the even symplectic fermion vertex operator algebra with the braided tensor category constructed from symplectic fermions.
