The rationality conjecture for the Neveu–Schwarz minimal series vertex operator superalgebras

About 33 years old · traced to

Let p,q∈{2,3,4,…}p,q\in\{2,3,4,\ldots\} satisfy p−q∈2Zp-q\in 2\mathbb Z, with (p−q)/2(p-q)/2 and qq relatively prime, and set

cp,q=32(1−2(p−q)2pq),c_{p,q}=\frac{3}{2}\left(1-\frac{2(p-q)^2}{pq}\right), hp,qr,s=(sp−rq)2−(p−q)28pq.h_{p,q}^{r,s}=\frac{(sp-rq)^2-(p-q)^2}{8pq}.

Write Vcp,qV_{c_{p,q}} for the vertex operator superalgebra at central charge cp,qc_{p,q}, and let Lc,hr,sL_{c,h_{r,s}} denote the minimal series module of central charge c=cp,qc=c_{p,q} and highest weight hr,s=hp,qr,sh_{r,s}=h_{p,q}^{r,s}.

Rationality conjecture. The vertex operator superalgebra Vcp,qV_{c_{p,q}} is rational. Moreover, the minimal series modules Lc,hr,sL_{c,h_{r,s}}, with 0<r<p0<r<p, 0<s<q0<s<q, and r−s∈2Zr-s\in 2\mathbb Z, are all the irreducible representations of VcV_c.

This is the proposed analogue for vertex operator superalgebras of the rationality and classification result for the Virasoro minimal series. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
