Kac-Moody algebras from M5-giants
摘要
We examine the giant graviton expansions of the Higgs indices for the 3d 𝒩 = 4 U(N) ADHM theories with l fundamental hypermultiplets. The indices for the M5-brane giant gravitons of wrapping number m appearing in the expansions consist of the contributions that generalize the characters of the W-algebra 𝒲(𝔤𝔩(m)) and those which realize the characters of the affine Kac-Moody algebras of type Al−1. Also we confirm that the inverse giant graviton expansions of the resulting M5-brane indices consistently reproduce the Higgs indices.
