G2 holonomy manifolds are superconformal
Abstract
We study the chiral de Rham complex (CDR) over a manifold M with holonomy G2. We prove that the vertex algebra of global sections of the CDR associated to M contains two commuting copies of the Shatashvili-Vafa G2 superconformal algebra. Our proof is a tour de force, based on explicit computations.
