We present free field realizations for the associated vertex operator algebras of a number of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories. Our constructions utilize an exceptionally small set of chiral bosons whose number…
We analyze the N=2 superconformal field theories that arise when a pair of D3-branes probe an F-theory singularity from the perspective of the associated vertex operator algebra. We identify these vertex operator algebras for all cases; we…
We present a free field realisation for the vertex operator algebra associated to the genus-two, class $\mathcal{S}$ superconformal field theory of type $\mathfrak{a}_1$. The free field realisation is in the style of recent work by the…
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…
In this paper we begin mapping out the space of rank-2 $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in four dimensions. This represents an ideal set of theories which can be potentially classified using purely quantum…
There are two major ways of constructing 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs): the first one is putting a 6d $(2,0)$ theory on a punctured Riemann surface (class-S theory), and the second one is putting type IIB string…
This is the third in a series of three papers on the systematic analysis of rank 1 four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs. In the first two papers we developed and carried out a strategy for classifying and constructing physical planar…
The free field realization of the eight-vertex model is extended to form factors. It is achieved by constructing off-diagonal with respect to the ground state sectors matrix elements of the $\Lambda$ operator which establishes a relation…
We construct 4d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) whose Coulomb branches have singular complex structures. This implies, in particular, that their Coulomb branch coordinate rings are not freely generated. Our construction also gives…
Turning on N=2 supersymmetry-preserving relevant operators in a 4-dimensional N=2 superconformal field theory (SCFT) corresponds to a complex deformation compatible with the rigid special Kahler geometry encoded in the low energy effective…
We construct free-field resolutions of unitary representations of the N=2 superconformal algebra. The irreducible representations are singled out from free-field spaces as the cohomology of fermionic screening operators. We construct and…
In this article, we provide a detailed construction and analysis of the mathematical conformal field theory of the free fermion, defined in the sense of Graeme Segal. We verify directly that the operators assigned to disks with two disks…
The algebraic structures related with integrable structure of superconformal field theory (SCFT) are introduced. The SCFT counterparts of Baxter's Q-operator are constructed. The fusion-like relations for the transfer-matrices in different…
A well-developed classification program for 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ super conformal field theories (SCFTs) leverages Seiberg-Witten geometry on the Coulomb branch of vacua; theories are arranged by increasing $\mathfrak{rank}$, the complex…
We introduce a family of 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ superconformal field theories that have zero-dimensional Coulomb and Higgs branches and propose that the rational vertex operator algebras $W^{\text{min}}_{k -…
We study Wakimoto-type free field constructions for superelliptic affine Lie algebras associated with coordinate rings $A=\mathbb{C}[t^{\pm1},u \mid u^m = p(t)]$, focusing on $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. We construct explicit operators on a tensor…
In this work we describe the mathematical foundations used in the construction of primary fields of minimal models of conformal field theory. The work contains two parts: In the first part we give a description of Verma and Fock modules for…
We find an intriguing relation between a class of 3-dimensional non-unitary topological field theories (TFTs) and Virasoro minimal models $M(2,2r+3)$ with $r \geq 1$. The TFTs are constructed by topologically twisting $3d$ ${\mathcal N}=4$…
A complete study of local singularities of rank two $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometry is given. Low energy theory associated with the local singularity is identified: it can be superconformal field theory (SCFT), or IR free gauge…
The minimal model $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ vertex operator superalgebras are the simple quotients of affine vertex operator superalgebras constructed from the affine Lie super algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2)$ at certain rational values…
