Self-mirror characterization of DGG rank-0 SCFTs

Prove that the DGG theory $T[L_{n,k}]$ associated with the punctured lens space $L(2n+3,2k)\setminus\{v\}$ is a self-mirror rank-0 SCFT if and only if $2k^2\equiv n+1\pmod{2n+3}$.

Background

Orientation reversal sends a lens space L(p,q)L(p,q) to L(p,q)L(p,-q), while lens-space homeomorphism identifies L(p,q)L(p,q) with L(p,q1)L(p,q^{-1}). Consequently, orientation-reversal invariance is equivalent to q21(modp)q^2\equiv-1\pmod p, which becomes 2k2n+1(mod2n+3)2k^2\equiv n+1\pmod{2n+3} for the punctured lens spaces considered here. The paper conjectures that this topological symmetry induces the three-dimensional N=4\mathcal N=4 mirror symmetry of the associated rank-0 SCFT. Equality of superconformal indices is checked only to finite order for several examples.

References

The orientation reversal of $L_{n,k}$ is realized as the parity conjugation of $T[L_{n,k}]$ that flips the $U(1)A$ axial charge, i.e., $=4$ mirror action, thus, we conjecture that the DGG theories associated with orientation-reversal-invariant $L{n,k}$ are self-mirror:
