Mirror symmetry for circle compactified 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs

We propose a mirror symmetry for 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) compactified on a circle with finite size. The mirror symmetry involves vertex operator algebra (VOA) describing the Schur sector (containing Higgs branch) of 4d theory, and the Coulomb branch of the effective 3d theory. The basic feature of the mirror symmetry is that many representational properties of VOA are matched with geometric properties of the Coulomb branch moduli space. Our proposal is verified for a large class of Argyres-Douglas (AD) theories engineered from M5 branes, whose VOAs are W-algebras, and Coulomb branches are the Hitchin moduli spaces. VOA data such as simple modules, Zhu's algebra, and modular properties are matched with geometric properties like $\mathbb{C}^*$-fixed varieties in Hitchin fibers, cohomologies, and some DAHA representations. We also mention relationships to 3d symplectic duality.
