Moore–Tachikawa's TQFT conjecture
Moore–Tachikawa's TQFT conjecture
Let be a connected semisimple affine algebraic group with Lie algebra . Consider a principal -triple , and set . Let be the category of two-dimensional cobordisms and the category whose objects are complex semisimple groups and whose morphisms are holomorphic symplectic varieties with Hamiltonian group actions. Moore–Tachikawa's conjecture. There exists a two-dimensional TQFT satisfying
and assigning to the cup cobordism the holomorphic symplectic -variety , where is the image of the Slodowy slice under the Killing-form identification . This conjecture predicts a TQFT encoding the Higgs branches associated with six-dimensional superconformal quantum field theories; its status is presented in the source as ongoing, with no resolution supplied here.
