Boundary-level rationality and C2C_2-cofiniteness conjecture for affine g\mathfrak{g}

Let g=sl(21)\mathfrak{g}=sl(2|1) and let g^\widehat{\mathfrak{g}} be its affine Lie superalgebra. Let mNm\in\mathbb{N} and set

k=mm+1.\mathcal{k}=-\frac{m}{m+1}.

Let Lg^(k,0)L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(\mathcal{k},0) be the simple affine vertex operator superalgebra at this boundary admissible level, let O\mathcal{O} be the category of modules under consideration, and let ωξ\omega_\xi be the Virasoro element defining the associated Q\mathbb{Q}-graded vertex operator superalgebra.

Boundary-level rationality conjecture. The vertex operator superalgebra Lg^(k,0)L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(\mathcal{k},0) is rational in the category O\mathcal{O}, and its irreducible weak modules in O\mathcal{O} are exactly the admissible modules of level k\mathcal{k} for g^\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}. Moreover, the Q\mathbb{Q}-graded vertex operator superalgebra (Lg^(k,0),ωξ)(L_{\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}}(\mathcal{k},0),\omega_\xi) is rational and C2C_2-cofinite.

The paper establishes the corresponding assertions at the boundary level 12-\frac12 and gives non-boundary examples where rationality fails. The general statement for the boundary levels k=mm+1\mathcal{k}=-\frac{m}{m+1} remains open.
