Abstract

In this paper, a continuation of \cite{MPS}, we investigate the S3S_3-orbifold subalgebra of (Vc)3(\mathcal{V}_c)^{\otimes 3}, that is, we consider the S3S_3-fixed point vertex subalgebra of the tensor product of three copies of the universal Virasoro vertex operator algebras Vc\mathcal{V}_c. Our main result is construction of a minimal, strong set of generators of this subalgebra for any generic values of cc. More precisely, we show that this vertex algebra is of type (2,4,62,82,9,102,11,123)(2,4,6^2,8^2,9,10^2,11,12^3). We also investigate two prominent examples of simple S3S_3-orbifold algebras corresponding to central charges c=12c=\frac12 (Ising model) and c=225c=-\frac{22}{5} (i.e. (2,5)(2,5)-minimal model). We prove that the former is a new unitary WW-algebra of type (2,4,6,8)(2,4,6,8) and the latter is isomorphic to the affine simple WW-algebra of type g2\frak{g}_2 at non-admissible level 196-\frac{19}{6}. We also provide another version of this isomorphism using the affine WW-algebra of type g2\frak{g}_2 coming from a subregular nilpotent element.
