The finite-group equivariant VOSA conjecture

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let V\mathbb{V} be a unitary self-dual VOSA of central charge c=n/2c=n/2, equivariant under a finite group GG with anomaly k∈(IZΩspin~)4(BG)k\in (\widetilde{I_{\mathbb{Z}\Omega^{\mathrm{spin}}}})^4(BG). Let W\mathbb{W} be its canonically Z/2\mathbb{Z}/2-twisted module, and let k~\tilde k be the induced twist in the target KO⁡\operatorname{KO}-theory. The finite-group equivariant VOSA conjecture. There is a class

[V]∈TMF⁡Gn+k(pt)[\mathbb{V}]\in \operatorname{TMF}^{n+k}_G(\mathrm{pt})

such that

Φ([V])=η(q)−nW∈KO⁡Gn+k~((q))(pt).\Phi([\mathbb{V}])=\eta(q)^{-n}\mathbb{W}\in \operatorname{KO}^{n+\tilde k}_G((q))(\mathrm{pt}).

This extends the affine-equivariant proposal to arbitrary finite symmetry groups and incorporates the anomaly and its induced graded-Brauer twist; the required equivariant twisted TMF⁡\operatorname{TMF} interpretation remains conjectural.
