Ekstrand–Heluani–Källén–Zabzine's Shatashvili–Vafa algebra conjecture for G2G_{2}-manifolds

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a G2G_{2}-manifold, let φ\varphi be its corresponding defining 33-form, and let Φ±\Phi_{\pm} be the global sections of the chiral de Rham complex corresponding to φ\varphi. Set

K±:=G(0)(Φ±).K_{\pm}:=G_{(0)}\left(\Phi_{\pm}\right).

Shatashvili–Vafa algebra conjecture. The section pairs {Φ+,K+}\{\Phi_{+},K_{+}\} and {Φ,K}\{\Phi_{-},K_{-}\} generate two commuting copies of the Shatashvili–Vafa G2G_{2} superconformal algebra.

This conjecture proposes that the chiral de Rham complex of a G2G_{2}-manifold contains two commuting copies of the G2G_{2} superconformal algebra, providing the expected algebraic structure associated with G2G_{2} holonomy and superconformal symmetry. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
