A bstract The chiral algebra of a 4D N ≥ 2 superconformal field theory is a vertex operator algebra generated by the Schur subsector of the 4D theory and its rigid (yet rich) structure has been useful in constraining and classifying 4D N = 2 SCFTs. We study how the chiral algebra arises from the wor...
