Abstract

The project aims at the study of algebraic structures natural to some geometries, consisting of vertex algebras associated to Riemannian manifolds via the chiral de Rham complex. We will address the following problem: given a Riemannian manifold M with holonomy Spin(7), to prove that the space of global sections of the chiral de Rham complex associated to M contains two commuting copies of the Shatashvili-Vafa Spin(7) superconformal algebra.
