The chiral D-affineness conjecture for quotient stacks

About 8 years old · traced to

Let GG be a semisimple group, let RR be a representation of GG, and let tt lie in the Lie algebra of the compact form of GG. Suppose that

Tr⁡R(t2)>Tr⁡g(t2).\operatorname{Tr}_R(t^2)>\operatorname{Tr}_{\mathfrak{g}}(t^2).

Let VV be any representation of GG satisfying

Tr⁡R(t2)−Tr⁡g(t2)=Tr⁡V(t2).\operatorname{Tr}_R(t^2)-\operatorname{Tr}_{\mathfrak{g}}(t^2)=\operatorname{Tr}_V(t^2).

Chiral D-affineness conjecture. The stack quotient (R⊕ΠV)/G(R\oplus\Pi V)/G is chiral DD-affine.

This would justify identifying global modules for the relevant chiral differential-operator vertex algebra with modules over its sheaf-theoretic counterpart on the Higgs branch supplemented by fermions. The source presents this as a conjectural condition needed for its global construction and gives no resolution.
