Associated-variety conjecture for the level 18+14/5-18+14/5 affine E7E_7 vertex algebra

Let XVX_V denote the associated variety of a vertex algebra VV, and let OE7(a5)\mathbb{O}_{E_7(a_5)} be the nilpotent orbit of Bala–Carter type E7(a5)E_7(a_5) in E7E_7. Associated-variety conjecture.

XL18+14/5(E7)=OE7(a5).X_{L_{-18+14/5}(E_7)}=\overline{\mathbb{O}_{E_7(a_5)}}.

The source motivates this by analogy with the D5D_5 case and by a claimed finite extension of an admissible affine vertex algebra; the conjecture remains unproved in the supplied text.
