Conformal nets from minimal W-algebras

June 03, 2025
We show the strong graded locality of all unitary minimal W-algebras, so that
they give rise to irreducible graded-local conformal nets. Among these unitary
vertex superalgebras, up to taking tensor products with free fermion vertex
superalgebras, there are the unitary Virasoro vertex algebras (N=0) and the
unitary N=1,2,3,4 super-Virasoro vertex superalgebras. Accordingly, we have a
uniform construction that gives, besides the already known N=0,1,2
super-Virasoro nets, also the new N=3,4 super-Virasoro nets. All strongly
rational unitary minimal W-algebras give rise to previously known completely
rational graded-local conformal nets and we conjecture that the converse is
also true. We prove this conjecture for all unitary W-algebras corresponding to
the N=0,1,2,3,4 super-Virasoro vertex superalgebras.
