| contents | Using bootstrap methods, we provide evidence for the existence of a non-linear W-algebra, denoted $W_\infty^\text{s,s}$, which contains the small N= 4 super Virasoro algebra and features an infinite tower of additional generators, organized in short supersymmetry multiplets. The algebra $W_\infty^\text{s,s}$ has one free parameter, its central charge c. We claim that the simple quotient of $W_\infty^\text{s,s}$ for c= -3(N^2-1) is isomorphic to the vertex operator algebra associated to 4d N=4 $\mathfrak{su}(N)$ super Yang-Mills theory. We define a filtration in $W_\infty^\text{s,s}$ and provide evidence that it reproduces the R-filtration, which is crucial to extract 4d SCFT data from the vertex operator algebra. Finally, we present explicit formulae for all the (anti)commutators of the wedge algebra of $ W_\infty^\text{s,s}$. |
