Abstract

The equivariant W\mathcal{W}-algebra of a simple Lie algebra g\mathfrak{g} is a BRST reduction of the algebra of chiral differential operators on the Lie group of g\mathfrak{g}. We construct a family of vertex algebras A[g,κ,n]A[\mathfrak{g}, \kappa, n] as subalgebras of the equivariant W\mathcal{W}-algebra of g\mathfrak{g} tensored with the integrable affine vertex algebra Ln(gˇ)L_n(\check{\mathfrak{g}}) of the Langlands dual Lie algebra gˇ\check{\mathfrak{g}} at level nZ>0n\in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}. They are conformal extensions of the tensor product of an affine vertex algebra and the principal W\mathcal{W}-algebra whose levels satisfy a specific relation.
