Friedan's reconstruction conjecture for self-dual vertex operator algebras
Let and be self-dual VOAs of CFT type, and let and denote their genus- partition functions.
Reconstruction conjecture. If
for every , then and are isomorphic.
This is the VOA analogue of Friedan's proposal that a field theory is determined by its restriction to closed surfaces. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
