Beem–Rastelli Higgs branch conjecture for four-dimensional N=2 SCFTs
Beem–Rastelli Higgs branch conjecture for four-dimensional N=2 SCFTs
Let be a four-dimensional superconformal field theory, let be its associated vertex algebra, and let denote its Higgs branch. Write for the associated variety of the vertex algebra. Beem–Rastelli conjecture. One has
The conjecture proposes that the Higgs-branch geometry of a four-dimensional SCFT is exactly captured by the associated variety of its two-dimensional vertex algebra. The supplied text gives examples where the equality is known and says that the general statement is expected, but provides no resolution.
