Abstract

The main objective of this work is to construct and classify the most general classical and quantum N=1\mathcal{N}=1 W\mathcal{W}_\infty-algebras generated by the same spins as the singlet algebra of NN fermions and NN bosons in the vector representation of O(N)O(N) in the NN\to\infty limit. This type of algebras appears in a recent N=1\mathcal{N}=1 version of the minimal model holography. Our analysis strongly suggests that there is a one parameter family W[μ]\mathcal{W}_\infty[\mu] of such algebras at every given central charge. Relying on this assumption, we identify various truncations of W[μ]\mathcal{W}_\infty[\mu] with, on the one hand, (orbifolds of) the Drinfel'd-Sokolov reductions of the Lie superalgebras B(n,n)B(n,n), B(n1,n)B(n-1,n), D(n,n)D(n,n) and D(n+1,n)D(n+1,n), and, on the other hand, (orbifolds of) three N=1\mathcal{N}=1 cosets. After a closer inspection we show that these cosets can be realized as a Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of B(n,n)B(n,n), D(n,n)D(n,n) and D(n+1,n)D(n+1,n). We then discuss the implications of our findings for the quantum version of the N=1\mathcal{N}=1 minimal model holography.
