We associate vertex operator algebras to $(p,q)$-webs of interfaces in the topologically twisted $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. Y-algebras associated to trivalent junctions are identified with truncations of…
We study the structure of modules of corner vertex operator algebras arrising at junctions of interfaces in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. In most of the paper, we concentrate on truncations of $\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}$ associated to the simplest…
The kinematic algebra of Yang-Mills theory can be understood in the framework of homotopy algebras: the $L_{\infty}$ algebra of Yang-Mills theory is the tensor product of the color Lie algebra and a kinematic space that carries a…
We introduce two mirror constructions of Vertex Operator Algebras associated to special boundary conditions in 3d N=4 gauge theories. We conjecture various relations between these boundary VOA's and properties of the (topologically twisted)…
Vertex operator algebras are mathematically rigorous objects corresponding to chiral algebras in conformal field theory. Operads are mathematical devices to describe operations, that is, $n$-ary operations for all $n$ greater than or equal…
Using bootstrap methods, we provide evidence for the existence of a non-linear W-algebra, denoted $W_\infty^\text{s,s}$, which contains the small N= 4 super Virasoro algebra and features an infinite tower of additional generators, organized…

An explicit vertex operator algebra construction is given of a class of irreducible modules for toroidal Lie algebras.
We compute supersymmetric indices which count local operators at certain half-BPS interfaces and quarter-BPS junctions of interfaces in four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. We use the indices as very stringent tests of…
This is Part I of a series of papers constructing intertwining operator superalgebras and vertex tensor categories associated to the superconformal minimal models and other related models. In this paper, we construct the intertwining…
To each complex reflection group $\Gamma$ one can attach a canonical symplectic singularity $\mathcal{M}_\Gamma$ arXiv:math/9903070. Motivated by the 4D/2D duality arXiv:1312.5344, arXiv:1707.07679, Bonetti, Meneghelli and Rastelli…
The chiral algebra of 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU$(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory is an $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal vertex operator algebra. We analyse the structure of this algebra by studying recursively the constraints that are required by the…
We propose a correspondence between vertex operator superalgebras and families of sigma models in which the two structures are related by symmetry properties and a certain reflection procedure. The existence of such a correspondence is…
We find that multiple vertex algebras can arise from a single 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory (SCFT). The connection is given by the BPS monodromy operator $M$, which is a wall-crossing invariant quantity that captures the…
We develop criteria to decide if an $N=2$ or $N=4$ super conformal algebra is a subalgebra of a super vertex operator algebra in general, and of a super lattice theory in particular. We give some specific examples.
Families of vertex algebras associated to nilpotent elements of simply-laced Lie algebras are constructed. These algebras are close cousins of logarithmic W-algebras of Feigin and Tipunin and they are also obtained as modifications of…
There are three universal $2$-parameter vertex algebras $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$, $\mathcal{W}^{\text{ev}}_{\infty}$, and $\mathcal{W}^{\mathfrak{sp}}_{\infty}$ which are freely generated of types $\mathcal{W}(2,3,4,\dots)$,…
We study the properties of shifted vertex operator algebras, which are vertex algebras derived from a given theory by shifting the conformal vector. In this way, we are able to exhibit large numbers of vertex operator algebras which are…
Every four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theory comes equipped with an intricate algebraic invariant, the associated vertex operator algebra. The relationships between this invariant and more conventional protected…
