Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction conjecture for simple modules of exceptional W-algebras

Let g=sp4\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{sp}_4, let ff be a subregular nilpotent element, and let kk be an admissible level. Write L(ξi,j(s),χi,j(s))L(\xi^{(s)}_{i,j},\chi^{(s)}_{i,j}) for the simple Wk(g,f)\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{g},f)-modules specified in Proposition 2.7. Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction conjecture. All these simple modules are obtained by Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction of highest-weight g^\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}-modules. More precisely, if k=3+p/3k=-3+p/3 with ((,p),3)=1{((,p)},3)=1 and p3p\geqslant 3, then

Hfl(L^k(λi,j(s)))={L(ξi,j(s),χi,j(s))if l=0,0otherwise,H^l_f\left(\widehat{L}_k(\lambda^{(s)}_{i,j})\right)= \begin{cases} L(\xi^{(s)}_{i,j},\chi^{(s)}_{i,j}) & \text{if } l=0,\\ 0 & \text{otherwise}, \end{cases}

for the parameters in Proposition 2.7P; and if k=3+p/4k=-3+p/4 with ((,p),2)=1{((,p)},2)=1 and p4p\geqslant 4, the same formula holds for the parameters in Proposition 2.7CP. This conjecture would identify every listed simple W-algebra module with a degree-zero Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction and assert vanishing in all other degrees. The statement is presented after explicit character computations for several families, but the source provides no proof of the full claim.
