The twisted Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction conjecture for Weyl modules

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a Lie algebra, let g^\widehat{\mathfrak g} be its affine algebra, let dstd_{st} be the standard semi-infinite cohomology differential, let σλ\sigma^\lambda be spectral flow associated to a weight λ\lambda, and let χ\chi be the usual character. Define

dλ=dst+χσλ.d_\lambda=d_{st}+\chi\circ\sigma^\lambda.

Let MΨ,νM_{\Psi,\nu} be a Weyl module and let ρ\rho^\vee denote the dual Weyl vector. Twisted Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction conjecture. The λ\lambda-twisted reduction satisfies

Hdλ(MΨ,ν)LΨ(γνΨ(λ+ρ))LΨ1(γλΨ(ν+ρ)).H_{d_\lambda}(M_{\Psi,\nu})\cong L^{\Psi}\left(\gamma_{\nu-\Psi(\lambda+\rho^\vee)}\right)\cong L^{\Psi^{-1}}\left(\gamma_{\lambda-\Psi(\nu+\rho^\vee)}\right).

The claim is verified for λ=0\lambda=0 and g=sl(2)\mathfrak g=\mathfrak{sl}(2), while Euler–Poincaré character calculations support it for arbitrary λ\lambda; the general proof requires reduction beyond category O\mathcal O and remains open.
