Vertical flip duality conjecture for W-superalgebra cosets

Let N,n,mZN,n,m\in\mathbb{Z} satisfy N>n,m2N>n,m\geq2, and define k=kN+n+mk^\sharp=-k-N+n+m and =N+n+m\ell^\sharp=-\ell-N+n+m. Let Com(A,B)\operatorname{Com}(A,B) denote the commutant of AA in BB. Vertical flip duality conjecture. For generic levels satisfying

(k+nN)(+mN)=1,(k+n-N)(\ell+m-N)=1,

there is an isomorphism of vertex superalgebras

Com(Vk(glm),Wk(slnN,fn1m,Nm))Com(V(gln),W(slmN,fm1n,Nn)).\operatorname{Com}\left(V^{k^\sharp}(\mathfrak{gl}_m),\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n|N},f_{n|1^m,N-m})\right)\simeq\operatorname{Com}\left(V^{\ell^\sharp}(\mathfrak{gl}_n),\mathcal{W}^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sl}_{m|N},f_{m|1^n,N-n})\right).

This predicts equality of the two W-superalgebra cosets obtained from the two resolutions of the conifold diagram under vertical flip.
