We present free field realizations for the associated vertex operator algebras of a number of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories. Our constructions utilize an exceptionally small set of chiral bosons whose number matches the complex dimensionality of the Higgs branch of the superconformal field theory. In the case of theories whose Higgs branches support additional degrees of freedom (free vector multiplets or decoupled interacting SCFTs), the corresponding "free field realizations" include additional ingredients: symplectic fermions in the case of vector multiplets and a $C_2$ co-finite VOA in the case of a residual interacting SCFT. The resulting picture is that the associated VOA can be constructed from the Higgs branch effective theory via free field realization. Our constructions also provide a natural realization of the $R$-filtration of the associated VOA.

  1. Higgsless Lagrangian SCFTs and Strongly Finite VOAs

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. On non-relativistic integrable models and 4d SCFTs

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

  3. Towards a classification of graded unitary ${\mathcal W}_3$ algebras

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.
