Commutant and fixed-point-free extension conjecture beyond collapsing levels

Let n4n\geq 4 and r0r\geq 0, set g=sl(n+r+2r)\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sl}(n+r+2|r), and let Π\Pi be a rank-one Heisenberg vertex operator algebra. Define

A=W2(sl(n+r+2r),θ),B=L1(gl(n+rr))=L1(sl(n+rr))Π,A=\mathcal{W}_{-2}(\mathfrak{sl}(n+r+2|r),\theta),\qquad B=L_{-1}(\mathfrak{gl}(n+r|r))=L_{-1}(\mathfrak{sl}(n+r|r))\otimes\Pi,

and

Cn,r=Com(B,A).C_{n,r}=\operatorname{Com}(B,A).

Let hh^\vee be the dual Coxeter number of sln2\mathfrak{sl}_{n-2}, set =h+n1n\ell=-h^\vee+\frac{n-1}{n}, and let fprinf_{\mathrm{prin}} be a principal nilpotent element of sln2\mathfrak{sl}_{n-2}. Beyond-collapsing-levels conjecture. The vertex operator algebras satisfy

Cn,rW(sln2,fprin),C_{n,r}\cong\mathcal{W}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sl}_{n-2},f_{\mathrm{prin}}),

and AA is a fixed-point-free simple-current extension in the category of ordinary modules of

L1(sl(n+rr))ΠW(sln2,fprin).L_{-1}(\mathfrak{sl}(n+r|r))\otimes\Pi\otimes\mathcal{W}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sl}_{n-2},f_{\mathrm{prin}}).

This conjecture identifies a commutant with a principal W\mathcal{W}-algebra and predicts a fixed-point-free simple-current extension structure beyond the collapsing levels. The supplied text does not state a resolution.
