We present a free field realisation for the vertex operator algebra associated to the genus-two, class $mathcal{S}$ superconformal field theory of type $mathfrak{a}_1$. The free field realisation is in the style of recent work by the authors, and is formulated in terms of a one-dimensional isotropic lattice vertex algebra along with two pairs of symplectic fermions. Our realisation makes manifest an enhanced ${ m USp}(4)$ outer automorphism group of the VOA that is inherited from the symplectic fermion system. This extends an ${ m SU(2)}$ outer automorphism that has been observed in recent work of Kiyoshige and Nishinaka and significantly simplifies the structure of the algebra. Along the way, we also produce a realisation of the generic subregular Drinfel'd-Sokolov $mathcal{W}$ algebra of type $mathcal{c}_2$ in terms of the generic principle $mathcal{W}$ algebra of type $mathfrak{c}_2$ and a one-dimensional isotropic lattice vertex algebra.

Abstract

We present a free field realisation for the vertex operator algebra associated to the genus-two, class $mathcal{S}$ superconformal field theory of type $mathfrak{a}_1$. The free field realisation is in the style of recent work by the authors, and is formulated in terms of a one-dimensional isotropic lattice vertex algebra along with two pairs of symplectic fermions. Our realisation makes manifest an enhanced ${ m USp}(4)$ outer automorphism group of the VOA that is inherited from the symplectic fermion system. This extends an ${ m SU(2)}$ outer automorphism that has been observed in recent work of Kiyoshige and Nishinaka and significantly simplifies the structure of the algebra. Along the way, we also produce a realisation of the generic subregular Drinfel'd-Sokolov $mathcal{W}$ algebra of type $mathcal{c}_2$ in terms of the generic principle $mathcal{W}$ algebra of type $mathfrak{c}_2$ and a one-dimensional isotropic lattice vertex algebra.
