Abstract

A construction of WW-symmetries is given only in terms of the nonlocal fields (parafermions \ps\al{\ps}_{\al}), which take values on the homogeneous space G/U(1)rG/U(1)^r, where GG is a simply connected compact Lie group manifold (its accompanying Lie algebra G{\cal G} is a simple one of rank rr). Only certain restriction of the root set of Lie algebra on which the parafermionic fields take values are satisfied, then a consistent and non-trivial extension of the stress momentum tensor may exist. For arbitrary simple-laced algebras, i.e. the ADEA-D-E cases, a more detailed discussion is given. The OPE of spin three primary field are calculated, in which a primary field with spin four is emerging.
