Abstract

We find an intriguing relation between the chiral algebra and the mixed Hodge structure of the Coulomb branch of four dimensional š’©=2 superconformal field theories. We identify the space of irreducible characters of the š’©=4 SU(N) chiral algebra š•[š’ÆSU(N)] by analytically computing the Wilson line Schur index, and imposing modular invariance. We further establish a map from the š•[š’ÆSU(N)] characters to the characters of the š’Æp,N chiral algebra. We extract the pure part of the mixed Hodge polynomial PHc of the Coulomb branch compactified on a circle, and prove that PHc encodes the representation theory of š•[š’ÆSU(N)]. We expect this to be a new entry of the 4D mirror symmetry framework.
