Finite NN holographic conjecture for local operators of six-dimensional superconformal theories

Let NN be a positive integer, and let ObsN(0)Obs_N(0) denote the local operators of the theory on a stack of NN fivebranes wrapping C3C^3 in R×C5R\times C^5. Let GN\mathcal G_N be the local LL_\infty algebra on C3C^3 obtained from the holographic construction, and let GN,c\mathcal G_{N,c} denote its central version. The exceptional super Lie algebra E(36)E(3|6) acts on these spaces. Finite NN holographic conjecture. There is an equivalence of E(36)E(3|6)-representations

\ObsN(0)\clie\bu(GN,c)(0).\Obs_N(0)\simeq \clie_\bu(\mathcal G_{N,c})(0).

Similarly, for N2N\geq 2, let \Obs~N(0)\widetilde{\Obs}_N(0) denote the local operators with the center-of-mass degrees of freedom removed, and let G~N,c\widetilde{\mathcal G}_{N,c} be the corresponding central local LL_\infty algebra. Then there is an equivalence of E(36)E(3|6)-representations

\Obs~N(0)\clie\bu(G~N,c)(0).\widetilde{\Obs}_N(0)\simeq \clie_\bu(\widetilde{\mathcal G}_{N,c})(0).

This conjecture identifies the local operators of the six-dimensional theory on NN fivebranes with the local operators computed holographically by Lie algebra cohomology. It is motivated by the expected enhancement of the holomorphically twisted superconformal algebra to the exceptional infinite-dimensional super Lie algebra E(36)E(3|6) and by the holographic description of the factorization algebra of observables; the claim is presented as an expectation and no resolution is supplied here.
