Ito's duality conjecture for regular \mathcal{W}-superalgebras

Assume nmn\geqslant m. Let Wκˇ(gln,O[nm,1m])\mathcal{W}^{\check{\kappa}}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n},\mathbb{O}_{[n-m,1^m]}) be the W\mathcal{W}-algebra associated with the nilpotent orbit corresponding to the Jordan block [nm,1m][n-m,1^m]. For κ,κˇQ\kappa,\check{\kappa}\notin\mathbb{Q} satisfying

(κ+nm)(κˇ+n)=1,(\kappa+n-m)(\check{\kappa}+n)=1,

set

Fnm={VZm,n>m,AmVZm,n=m,κˇ=κˇ+(nm).\mathcal{F}_{n|m}=\begin{cases} V_{\mathbb{Z}^m}, & n>m,\\ \mathcal{A}^{m}\otimes V_{\mathbb{Z}^m}, & n=m,\end{cases}\qquad \check{\kappa}_{\circ}=\check{\kappa}+(n-m).

Ito's conjecture. There is an isomorphism of vertex superalgebras

Wκ(glnm)Com(Vκˇ(glm),Wκˇ(gln,O[nm,1m])Fnm),\mathcal{W}^{\kappa}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n|m})\simeq \operatorname{Com}\left(V^{\check{\kappa}_{\circ}}(\mathfrak{gl}_{m}),\mathcal{W}^{\check{\kappa}}(\mathfrak{gl}_{n},\mathbb{O}_{[n-m,1^m]})\otimes\mathcal{F}_{n|m}\right),

where the gl^m\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}_{m}-action is diagonal. This is a proposed generalization of the duality established in the gln1\mathfrak{gl}_{n|1} case; its validity beyond that setting is conjectural.
