Z_3 symmetry and W_3 algebra in lattice vertex operator algebras

Quantum Algebra 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The W_3 algebra of central charge 6/5 is realized as a subalgebra of the vertex operator algebra V_{\sqrt{2}A_2} associated with a lattice of type \sqrt{2}A_2 by using both coset construction and orbifold theory. It is proved that W_3 is rational. Its irreducible modules are classified and constructed explicitly. The characters of those irreducible modules are also computed.
