The VOSA-to-TMF\mathrm{TMF} class conjecture

Let V\mathbb{V} be a holomorphic VOSA of central charge n/2n/2 containing an affine algebra g^k\hat{\mathfrak{g}}_k. Let GG be the simply-connected compact Lie group of type g\mathfrak{g}, and let τ ⁣:BGK(Z,4)\tau\colon BG\to K(\mathbb{Z},4) represent a generator of H4(BG;Z)ZH^4(BG;\mathbb{Z})\simeq\mathbb{Z}. Then

The VOSA-to-TMF\operatorname{TMF} class conjecture. The VOSA should determine a class

[V]TMFGn+kτ(pt),[\mathbb{V}]\in \operatorname{TMF}^{n+k\tau}_G(\mathrm{pt}),

such that Φ([V])KOGn((q))(pt)\Phi([\mathbb{V}])\in \operatorname{KO}^n_G((q))(\mathrm{pt}) can be computed from the theory of VOSAs. This proposes a mathematical realization of the Stolz–Teichner correspondence for purely left-moving theories, but genuinely equivariant twisted TMF\operatorname{TMF} was not yet adequately developed in the source.
