Abstract

Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If c=124kc = 1 - 24k, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in Z+/2Z_{+}/2 and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in Z+/4Z_{+}/4. All possible lowest-weight representations, their characters and fusion rules are calculated proving that these theories are rational. It is shown, that these non-unitary theories complete the classification of all rational theories with effective central charge ceff=1c_{eff} = 1. The results are generalized to the case of extended supersymmetric conformal algebras.
