Abstract
The low energy limit of the stress tensor, gauge current, and supercurrent twopoint correlators are calculated in the background of the supersymmetric magnetic brane solution to gauged five-dimensional supergravity constructed by Almuhairi and Polchinski. The resulting correlators provide evidence for the emergence of an \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) super-Virasoro algebra of right-movers, in addition to a bosonic Virasoro algebra and a U(1) ⊕U(1)-current algebra of left-movers (or the parity transform of left- and right-movers depending on the sign of the magnetic field), in the holographically dual strongly interacting two-dimensional effective field theory of the lowest Landau level.
