Abstract

We argue that the level-11 elliptic algebra Uq,p(g^)U_{q,p}(\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}) is a dynamical symmetry realized as a part of 2d/5d correspondence where the Drinfeld currents are the screening currents to the qq-Virasoro/W block in the 2d side. For the case of Uq,p(sl^(2))U_{q,p}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}(2)), the level-11 module has a realization by an elliptic version of the Frenkel-Kac construction. The module admits the action of the deformed Virasoro algebra. In a rr-th root of unity limit of pp with q21q^2 \rightarrow 1, the Zr\mathbb{Z}_r-parafermions and a free boson appear and the value of the central charge that we obtain agrees with that of the 2d coset CFT with para-Virasoro symmetry, which corresponds to the 4d N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SU(2)SU(2) gauge theory on R4/Zr\mathbb{R}^4/\mathbb{Z}_r.
