Conjecture on conformal embeddings in the family of W-algebras

Let n,mn,m be positive integers with n2n\geq 2. Define Wn,m\mathcal{W}_{n,m} as the quantum Hamiltonian reduction of Vk(sln+m)V_k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+m}) at the level satisfying

k+n+m=n+mm+1.k+n+m=\frac{n+m}{m+1}.

Here the reduction uses the principal embedding of sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2 in the slm\mathfrak{sl}_m subalgebra of slmgln\mathfrak{sl}_m\oplus\mathfrak{gl}_n. Conformal-embedding conjecture. The simple affine vertex operator algebra Lnm+1m+1(gln)L_{-\frac{nm+1}{m+1}}(\mathfrak{gl}_n) embeds conformally in Wn,m\mathcal{W}_{n,m}. This is known for m=1m=1, for m=2m=2, and for n=2n=2; the general case remains open.
