报告题目:W-algebras and 4d N=2 SCFTs from M5 branes

报告人:颜文斌教授(清华大学)

报告摘要In this talk, we will review the correspondence between 4d N=2 superconformal field theories (SCFTs) and 2d vertex operator algebras (VOAs). For 4d SCFTs from M5 branes, corresponding VOAs are W-algebras with an explicit construction. Observables in both Higgs and Coulomb branches of SCFTs are identified with data in VOAs. Various new interesting properties of 2d VOAs such as level-rank duality, conformal embedding, collapsing levels, coset constructions for known VOAs can also be derived from 4d theory.
