VOAs labelled by complex reflection groups and 4d SCFTs
Abstract
We define and study a class of vertex operator algebras labelled by complex reflection groups. They are extensions of the super Virasoro algebra obtained by introducing additional generators, in correspondence with the invariants of the complex reflection group . If is a Coxeter group, the super Virasoro algebra enhances to the (small) superconformal algebra. With the exception of , which corresponds to just the algebra, these are non-deformable VOAs that exist only for a specific negative value of the central charge. We describe a free-field realization of in terms of rank ghost systems, generalizing a construction of Adamovic for the algebra at . If is a Weyl group, is believed to coincide with the VOA that arises from the four-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory whose gauge algebra has Weyl group . More generally, if is a crystallographic complex reflection group, is conjecturally associated to an superconformal field theory. The free-field realization allows to determine the elusive `-filtration' of , and thus to recover the full Macdonald index of the parent theory
