Infinite Chiral Symmetry in Four Dimensions
read the original abstract
We describe a new correspondence between four-dimensional conformal field theories with extended supersymmetry and two-dimensional chiral algebras. The meromorphic correlators of the chiral algebra compute correlators in a protected sector of the four-dimensional theory. Infinite chiral symmetry has far-reaching consequences for the spectral data, correlation functions, and central charges of any four-dimensional theory with ${\mathcal N}=2$ superconformal symmetry.

Fermionic extensions of $W$-algebras via 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with a boundary
Constructs fermionic extensions of W-algebras W^{-N+1}(sl_N, f_sub) via BRST cohomology in 3d N=4 abelian gauge theories and explicitly computes the N=3 case as an extension of the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra.

On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs
Generalized Schur indices of N=2 class S theories are expressed using eigenfunctions of non-relativistic elliptic Calogero-Moser models, with extensions claimed for N=1 SCFTs via limits of models like Inozemtsev.

Macdonald Index From Refined Kontsevich-Soibelman Operator
A refined Kontsevich-Soibelman operator is conjectured to have trace equal to the Macdonald index for special 4d N=2 SCFTs, yielding closed forms for (A1, g) Argyres-Douglas theories.

Towards a classification of graded unitary ${\mathcal W}_3$ algebras
Under the assumption that the R-filtration is weight-based, only the (3,q+4) minimal models of W3 algebras are compatible with graded unitarity from 4d SCFTs.
