Duality in N=2 minimal model holography

Recently a duality between a family of \mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric higher spin theories on AdS3, and the 't Hooft like limit of a class of Kazama-Suzuki models (that are parametrised by N and k) was proposed. The higher spin theories can be described by a Chern-Simons theory based on the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra shs[μ], and under the duality, μis to be identified with λ=N/(N+k+1). Here we elucidate the structure of the (quantum) asymptotic symmetry algebra sW_{\infty}[μ] for arbitrary μand central charge c. In particular, we show that for each value of the central charge, there are generically four different values of μthat describe the same sW_{\infty} algebra. Among other things this proves that the quantum symmetries on both sides of the duality agree; this equivalence does not just hold in the 't Hooft limit, but even at finite N and k.
