Coset conjecture for symplectic bosons and a subregular W-algebra

About 5 years old · traced to

For n≥2n\geq 2, let S(n(n+1))\mathcal{S}(n(n+1)) denote the symplectic-boson vertex algebra on a 2n(n+1)2n(n+1)-dimensional symplectic vector space, with its natural sln[t]\mathfrak{sl}_n[t] action. Let fn−1,n+1f_{n-1,n+1} be the nilpotent element specified by the corresponding partition of 2n2n.

Coset conjecture. For all n≥2n\geq 2, there is an isomorphism

S(n(n+1))sln[t]≅W2−2n(sl2n,fn−1,n+1).\mathcal{S}(n(n+1))^{\mathfrak{sl}_n[t]} \cong \mathcal{W}_{2-2n}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2n},f_{n-1,n+1}).

The conjecture identifies a current-algebra invariant subalgebra of a symplectic-boson vertex algebra with a simple W\mathcal{W}-algebra at level 2−2n2-2n. The supplied source gives no resolution status beyond presenting the assertion, so its general case remains open here.
