Non-invertible Conway defects conjecture for K3 sigma models
Non-invertible Conway defects conjecture for K3 sigma models
Let be a four-dimensional subspace, and let be the full subcategory of topological defects defined by the condition in equation (TopPi). Let denote the tensor category of topological defects of a K3 nonlinear sigma model preserving and spectral flow. Non-invertible Conway defects conjecture. There exists a nonlinear sigma model on K3 such that (i) there is an equivalence of tensor categories
(ii) for every , the twining genera coincide,
and (iii) there is an isometry of Hilbert spaces
intertwining the defect actions:
The conjecture proposes that the Conway super-vertex operator algebra captures not only invertible K3 symmetries but also the corresponding non-invertible topological defects and their action on the Ramond ground-state Hilbert space.
