abstract

We define and study a class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator algebras $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ labelled by complex reflection groups. They are extensions of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Virasoro algebra obtained by introducing additional generators, in correspondence with the invariants of the complex reflection group $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}$. If $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}$ is a Coxeter group, the $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Virasoro algebra enhances to the (small) $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal algebra. With the exception of $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}} = \mathbb{Z}_2$, which corresponds to just the $\mathcal{N}=4$ algebra, these are non-deformable VOAs that exist only for a specific negative value of the central charge. We describe a free-field realization of $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ in terms of rank$(\mathcal{\mathsf{G}})$ $\beta \gamma bc$ ghost systems, generalizing a construction of Adamovic for the $\mathcal{N}=4$ algebra at $c = -9$. If $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}$ is a Weyl group, $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ is believed to coincide with the $\mathcal{N}=4$ VOA that arises from the four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory whose gauge algebra has Weyl group $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}$. More generally, if $\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}$ is a crystallographic complex reflection group, $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$ is conjecturally associated to an $\mathcal{N}=3$ $4d$ superconformal field theory. The free-field realization allows to determine the elusive `$R$-filtration' of $\mathcal{W}_{\mathcal{\mathsf{G}}}$, and thus to recover the full Macdonald index of the parent $4d$ theory

  1. Higgsless Lagrangian SCFTs and Strongly Finite VOAs

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higgsless Lagrangian N=2 SCFTs are sparse (free vectors, one SO/USp quiver family, three sporadics); the VOAs of two sporadics are strongly finite and logarithmic.

    Admissible-level affine sl2 modules and rational Virasoro minimal-model modules have matching characters under the substitution (w,q) -> (q^{+/-1/2}, q^3).

    A conjectured 4d mirror symmetry for A1 class-S theories matches simple modules of the Higgs-branch VOA to fixed manifolds of the Hitchin Coulomb branch, with conformal weights and modular Jordan types fixed by moment...
