The orbifold quantum-dimension conjecture for the Heisenberg vertex algebra

About 8 years old · traced to

Let H(3)\mathcal{H}(3) be the Heisenberg vertex operator algebra, let S3S_3 act on it by permutations, and let MM be an irreducible ordinary H(3)S3\mathcal{H}(3)^{S_3}-module. For g∈S3g\in S_3, call a module a gg-twisted module if it is a gg-twisted H(3)\mathcal{H}(3)-module. The quantum dimension of a module MM is

qdim⁡[M]:=lim⁡t→0+ch⁡[M](it)ch⁡[H(3)S3](it).\operatorname{qdim}[M]:=\lim_{t\to 0^+}\frac{\operatorname{ch}[M](it)}{\operatorname{ch}[\mathcal{H}(3)^{S_3}](it)}.

Orbifold quantum-dimension conjecture. Every irreducible ordinary H(3)S3\mathcal{H}(3)^{S_3}-module MM appears in the decomposition of a gg-twisted H(3)\mathcal{H}(3)-module for some g∈S3g\in S_3. Moreover,

qdim⁡(M)∈{1,2,6,+∞}.\operatorname{qdim}(M)\in\{1,2,6,+\infty\}.

The conjecture predicts both that all irreducible ordinary modules arise from twisted sectors and that their quantum dimensions are restricted to four values. The preceding computations establish these values for several modules, while the remaining assertion was stated as to be addressed in the cited future work.
