W $$ \mathcal{W} $$ -algebra modules, free fields, and Gukov-Witten defects

Abstract We study the structure of modules of corner vertex operator algebras arrising at junctions of interfaces in N = 4 $$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM. In most of the paper, we concentrate on truncations of W 1 + ∞ $$ {\mathcal{W}}_{1+\infty } $$ associated to the simplest trivalent junction. First, we...
