Identification of the finite-rank VOA quotient with \(\mathcal{N}=4\) SYM

Prove that the simple quotient of \(\mathcal{W}_{\infty}^{s,s}\) by the ideal generated by \(W_{p>N}\) is isomorphic to the vertex operator algebra associated with four-dimensional \(\mathcal{N}=4\) \(SU(N)\) super Yang–Mills theory.

Background

The paper denotes the ideal generated by the conjecturally null generators Wp>NW_{p>N} by IN\mathcal{I}_N, and denotes the corresponding simple quotient by V(AN1)\mathcal{V}(A_{N-1}). This quotient is then used throughout the paper as the VOA governing the Schur and Macdonald sectors of N=4\mathcal{N}=4 SU(N)SU(N) SYM.

The proposed isomorphism is a structural assumption underlying the comparison between outer-automorphism-twisted VOA characters and non-invertible-symmetry-twisted four-dimensional indices.

References

The simple quotient of \mathcal{W}{\infty}{s,s} by \mathcal{I}{N} is conjectured to be isomorphic to the VOA associated to \mathcal{N}=4 SU(N) SYM.
