Kac–Roan–Wakimoto's Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a Lie algebra, let ff be a nilpotent element of g\mathfrak{g}, and let Lk(g)L_k(\mathfrak{g}) be the simple affine vertex algebra at level kk. Let HDS,f0(−)H^0_{DS,f}(-) denote Drinfeld–Sokolov reduction with respect to ff, and let Wk(g,f)\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{g},f) denote the corresponding simple W\mathcal{W}-algebra. Kac–Roan–Wakimoto's conjecture.

HDS,f0(Lk(g)) is either zero or isomorphic to Wk(g,f).H^0_{DS,f}(L_k(\mathfrak{g})) \text{ is either zero or isomorphic to } \mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{g},f).

The source says that this has been proved in many cases, mainly when kk is admissible, and presents it as unresolved in general.
