Abstract

We prove the conjecture of Kac-Wakimoto on the rationality of exceptional W-algebras for the first non-trivial series, namely, for the Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebras W3(2)W_3^{(2)} at level k=p/23k=p/2-3 with p=3,5,7,...p=3,5,7,.... This gives new examples of rational conformal field theories.
