Exceptional-level conformal embedding conjecture for type A W-algebras

Let NZ>0N\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0} and let k=N+p/nk=-N+p/n be admissible. Write π\pi for a rank-one Heisenberg vertex algebra, and set L(sli)=CL_\bullet(\mathfrak{sl}_i)=\mathbb{C} for i=0,1i=0,1. Exceptional embedding conjecture. If sn+r=Nsn+r=N and r0r\geq0, then

Wk(slN,f1r,ns)=0sWpn,p(+1)n(slpN)Lr+(psn)/n(slr)π(sδr,0).\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{sl}_N,f_{1^r,n^s})\hookleftarrow\bigotimes_{\ell=0}^{s}\mathcal{W}_{p-\ell n,p-(\ell+1)n}(\mathfrak{sl}_{p-N})\otimes L_{-r+(p-sn)/n}(\mathfrak{sl}_r)\otimes\pi^{\otimes(s-\delta_{r,0})}.

If sn+r=Nsn+r=N and n>r0n>r\geq0, then

Wk(slN,fr,ns)=0sWpn,p(+1)n(slpN)Wr+(psn)/n(slr)π(sδr,0).\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{sl}_N,f_{r,n^s})\hookleftarrow\bigotimes_{\ell=0}^{s}\mathcal{W}_{p-\ell n,p-(\ell+1)n}(\mathfrak{sl}_{p-N})\otimes\mathcal{W}_{-r+(p-sn)/n}(\mathfrak{sl}_r)\otimes\pi^{\otimes(s-\delta_{r,0})}.

These embeddings are proposed as a consequence of reduction by stages and describe exceptional W-algebras through smaller W-algebras, affine factors, and Heisenberg factors.
