Nichols-algebra conjecture for screening operators
Nichols-algebra conjecture for screening operators
Let be a vertex operator algebra containing Heisenberg fields , and let . Assume that decomposes into integer eigenvalues under the zero-modes of the . Define
where is the spectral flow generated by . Assume that each has diagonal braiding and defines a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra. Let , let be the algebra object defined by in the category of -modules, and let be the Nichols algebra of in . Nichols-algebra conjecture for screening operators. There is an equivalence of tensor categories
compatible with the central structure of on both sides. The conjecture seeks a general categorical realization of the relation between screening operators and Nichols algebras; the source records supporting results for Nichols-algebra relations and classifications in the diagonal-braiding case, but does not state a resolution of the equivalence.
