Every six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ SCFT on $\mathbf{R}^6$ contains a set of protected operators whose correlation functions are controlled by a two-dimensional chiral algebra. We provide an alternative construction of this chiral…

We conjecture a description of the vertex (chiral) algebras of the (0,2) nonlinear sigma models on smooth quintic threefolds. We provide evidence in favor of the conjecture by connecting our algebras to the cohomology of a twisted chiral de…

We review non-linear sigma-models with (2,1) and (2,2) supersymmetry. We focus on off-shell closure of the supersymmetry algebra and give a complete list of (2,2) superfields. We provide evidence to support the conjecture that all N=(2,2)…

We study constraints imposed by four-dimensional unitarity (formalised as graded unitarity in recent work by the first author) on possible ${\mathcal W}_3$ vertex algebras arising from four-dimensions via the SCFT/VOA correspondence. Under…

Let G be the real points of a simply connected, semisimple, simply laced complex Lie group, and let \tilde{G} be the nonlinear double cover of G. We discuss a set of small genuine irreducible representations of \tilde{G} which can be…

As conjectured by T. Przebinda, the transfer of characters in the Howe's correspondence should be obtained via the Cauchy-Harish-Chandra integral. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture holds for the dual pair $(G = U(p, q), G' = U(r,…

We present a systematic approach to constructing current algebras based on non-semi-simple groups. The Virasoro central charges corresponding to these current algebras are not, in general, given by integer numbers. The key point in this…

The characters of the unitarizable highest weight modules over the N=2 superconformal algebras are presented. This is a slightly extended version of an Encyclopedia entry.

In the first part, we construct a new isomorphism between the endomorphism algebra of an induced cuspidal character sheaf and the group algebra of the relative Weyl group involved. We show it differs from the isomorphism of Lusztig by a…

We show that the equality of 2d $\mathcal{N}$=(2,2) supersymmetric indices in Seiberg-type duality leads to a new integrable Ising-type model. The emergence of the new model is the result of correspondence between the supersymmetric $SU(2)$…

We construct the chiral algebra associated with the $A_{1}$-type class $\mathcal{S}$ theory for genus two Riemann surface without punctures. By solving the BRST cohomology problem corresponding to a marginal gauging in four dimensions, we…

We examine the problem of constructing N=2 superconformal algebras out of N=1 non-semi-simple affine Lie algebras. These N=2 superconformal theories share the property that the super Virasoro central charge depends only on the dimension of…

The w*-closed triple semigroup algebra was introduced by Power and the author in [19], where it was proved to be reflexive and to be chiral, in the sense of not being unitarily equivalent to its adjoint algebra. Here an analogous operator…

This paper (completed March 1992) is an extensively revised and expanded version of work which appeared July 1991 on the initial incarnation of the hepth bulletin board, and which was published in the Proceedings of the Workshop on String…

Given a real representation of the Clifford algebra corresponding to $R^{p+q}$ with metric of signature $(p,q)$, we demonstrate the existence of two natural bilinear forms on the space of spinors. With the Clifford action of $k$-forms on…

Rational CFT's are classified by an integer $\ell$, the number of zeroes of the Wronskian of their characters in moduli space. For $\ell=0$ they satisfy non-singular modular-invariant differential equations, while for $\ell>0$ the…

In 1990 Kantor introduced the conservative algebra $\mathcal{W}(n)$ of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the $n$-dimensional vector space. In case $n >1$ the algebra $\mathcal{W}(n)$ does not belong to well known classes of algebras…

We find a canonical $N{=}2$ superconformal algebra (SCA) in the BRST complex associated to any affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathbf{h}}$ with $\mathbf{h}$ semisimple. In contrast with the similar known results for the Virasoro, $N{=}1$…

Characters of $E_8\otimes E_8$ and SO(32) heterotic strings involving the full internal symmetry Cartan subalgebra generators are defined after circle compactification so that they are T dual. The novel point, as compared with an earlier…

The qq-characters are powerful tools to reveal symmetries and integrabilities of Seiberg-Witten theories. The goal of this paper is to provide analytic expressions of qq-characters based on Young diagrams in 5d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ pure…
