The symmetry-group dimension conjecture for conformal field theories

Let H=⨁p,qHp,qH=\bigoplus_{p,q}H^{p,q} be the state space of a conformal field theory, with H1,0H^{1,0} its subspace of states of conformal weights (1,0)(1,0), and let the group of symmetries mean the automorphisms of HH preserving all the CFT structures. Symmetry-group dimension conjecture. The group of symmetries is a compact Lie group of dimension at most dim⁡H1,0\dim H^{1,0}. This conjecture predicts a finiteness and dimensional bound for continuous symmetries of a CFT; the source gives no resolution or supporting result.
