Abstract
E7+1/2 is an intermediate Lie algebra filling a hole between E-7 and E-8 in the Deligne- Cvitanovic exceptional series. It was found independently by Mathur, Muhki, Sen in the classification of 2d RCFTs via modular linear differential equations (MLDE) and by Deligne, Cohen, de Man in representation theory. In this paper we propose some new vertex operator algebras (VOA) associated with E7+1/2 and give some useful information at small levels. We conjecture that the affine VOA (E7+1/2)(k) is rational if and only if the level k is at most 5, and provide some evidence from the viewpoint of MLDE. We propose a conjectural Weyl dimension formula for infinitely many irreducible representations of E7+1/2, which generates almost all irreducible representations of E7+1/2 with level k <= 4. More concretely, we propose the affine VOA E7+1/2 at level 2 and the rank-two instanton VOA associated with E7+1/2. We compute the VOA characters and provide some coset constructions. These generalize the previous works of Kawasetsu for affine VOA E7+1/2 at level 1 and of Arakawa- Kawasetsu at level -5. We then predict the conformal weights of affine VOA E7+1/2 at level 3, 4, 5.
