We show that there is a unique family of vertex algebras satisfying the required conditions and show that they are all simple and conformal. In fact, our construction works for any complex semisimple group G that is not necessarily simply laced. Furthermore, we show that the associated varieties of these vertex algebras are exactly the genus zero Moore-Tachikawa symplectic varieties that have been recently constructed by Braverman, Finkelberg and Nakajima using the geometry of the affine Grassmannian for the Langlands dual group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-05T09:52:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "vertex algebras", "genus zero moore-tachikawa symplectic varieties", "genus zero pointed riemann surfaces", "genus zero chiral algebras" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
