Universal $2$-parameter $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$-algebra
Abstract
The universal -parameter vertex algebra of type is a classifying object for vertex algebras of type for some ; under mild hypotheses, all such vertex algebras arise as quotients of . In 2017, Gaiotto and Rap\v{c}\'ak introduced a family of such vertex algebras called -algebras, and conjectured that they fall into groups of three that are mutually isomorphic. This is a common generalization of both Feigin-Frenkel duality and the coset realization of principal -algebras in type , and was proven in 2021 for the simple -algebras (i.e., one label is zero) by the first and third authors. In this paper, we extend this entire story to the superconformal setting. First, we prove the 2013 conjecture of Gaberdiel and Candu that there exists a universal -parameter vertex algebra which is an extension of the superconformal algebra, and has four additional generators in weights , for each integer . This admits many -parameter quotients which we call supersymmetric -algebras, and we prove the dualities among these algebras which were conjectured in 2018 by Prochazka and Rap\v{c}\'ak. A special case is the coset realization of the principal -algebra which was conjectured in 1992 by Ito. As a corollary, we obtain the strong rationality of for for all positive integers , and we describe its module category. This generalizes Adamovi\'c's 1999 result on minimal models, which is the case .
