abstract

We introduce two mirror constructions of Vertex Operator Algebras associated to special boundary conditions in 3d N=4 gauge theories. We conjecture various relations between these boundary VOA's and properties of the (topologically twisted) bulk theories. We discuss applications to the Symplectic Duality and Geometric Langlands programs.

Bridging 4D QFTs and 2D VOAs via 3D high-temperature EFTs

hep-th · 2024-09-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.

Quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Exact quarter-indices for basic ortho-symplectic corners in N=4 SYM are obtained in closed form, proven equal under duality, and interpreted as vacuum characters of BCD W-algebras and osp(1|2N) VOAs.
