Miura operators, degenerate fields and the M2-M5 intersection
Davide Gaiotto, Miroslav Rapčák
Abstract
A bstract We determine the mathematical structures which govern the Ω deformation of supersymmetric intersections of M2 and M5 branes. We find that the supersymmetric intersections govern many aspects of the theory of W-algebras, including degenerate modules, the Miura transform and Coulomb gas constructions. We give an algebraic interpretation of the Pandharipande-Thomas box counting in ℂ 3 .
