We investigate the W-algebras generated by the integer dimension chiral primary operators of the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. These have a form almost identical to that found in the c=-2 model but have, in addition, an extended Kac-Moody structure.…
We introduce a gauge group of internal symmetries of an ambient algebra as a new tool for investigating the superselection structure of WZW theories and the representation theory of the corresponding affine Lie algebras. The relevant…
We study the representation theory of the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra $\mathcal W_k = \mathcal{W}_k(sl_3,f_{\theta})$. In particular, Zhu algebra of $\mathcal W_k$ is isomorphic to a certain quotient of the Smith algebra, after changing the…
This paper is about the orbifold theory of affine and parafermion vertex operator algebras. It is known that the parafermion vertex operator algebra $K(sl_2,k)$ associated to the integrable highest weight modules for the affine Kac-Moody…
We construct weak (i.e. non-graded) modules over the vertex operator algebra $M(1)^+$, which is the fixed-point subalgebra of the higher rank free bosonic (Heisenberg) vertex operator algebra with respect to the $-1$ automorphism. These…
A graded generalization of the Z_k parafermionic current osp(1|2)/U(1) coset conformal field theory. The structure of the parafermionic highest-weight modules is analyzed and the dimensions of the fields of the theory are determined. A free…
The Bershadsky--Polyakov algebras are the subregular quantum hamiltonian reductions of the affine vertex operator algebras associated with $\mathfrak{sl}_3$. In arXiv:2007.00396 [math.QA], we realised these algebras in terms of the regular…
The following integrability theorem for vertex operator algebras V satisfying some finiteness conditions(C_2-cofinite and CFT-type) is proved: the vertex operator subalgebra generated by a simple Lie subalgebra {\frak g} of the weight one…
We define the $\frac{\mathbb{Z}}{2}$-graded meromorphic open-string vertex algebra that is an appropriate noncommutative generalization of the vertex operator superalgebra. We also illustrate an example that can be viewed as a…
The problem of determining maximal ideals in universal affine vertex algebras is difficult for levels beyond admissible, since there are no simple character formulas which can be applied. Here we investigate when certain quotient $\mathcal…
We start from the Maurer-Cartan (MC) equations of the Osp(N|4) superalgebras satisfied by the left-invariant super-forms realized on supercoset manifolds of the corresponding supergroups and we derive some new pure spinor constraints. They…
By using the free field worldsheet realization described by Gaberdiel and Gopakumar recently, we construct the nontrivial lowest generators of the higher spin superalgebra $hs(2,2|4)$. They consist of cubic terms between the bilinears of…
In this paper we construct Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand type resolution of simple highest weight modules over the simple $\mathcal{N}=2$ vertex operator superalgebra of central charge $c_{p,p'}=3\left(1-\frac{2p'}{p}\right)$ by means of the…
It is known that the defining relations of the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra osp(1|2n) are equivalent to the defining (triple) relations of n pairs of paraboson operators $b^\pm_i$. In particular, with the usual star conditions, this…
We consider the spin $k/2$ XXZ model in the antiferomagnetic regime using the free field realization of the quantum affine algebra $\uqa$ of level $k$. We give a free field realization of the type II $q$-vertex operator, which describes…
We consider C-graded vertex algebras, which are vertex algebras V with a C-grading such that V is an admissible V-module generated by 'lowest weight vectors'. We show that such vertex algebras have a 'good' representation theory in the…
Representations of the superalgebra $osp(2|2)$ and current superalgebra $osp(2|2)^{(1)}_k$ in the standard basis are investigated. All finite-dimensional typical and atypical representations of $osp(2|2)$ are constructed by the vector…
We study the problem of constructing N=2 superconformal algebras out of an N=1 affine Lie algebra. Following a recent independent observation of Getzler and the author, we derive a simplified set of N=2 master equations, which we then…
For any involution $\sigma$ of a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, one constructs a non-reductive Lie algebra $\mathfrak k$, which is called a $\mathbb Z_2$-contraction of $\mathfrak g$. In this paper, we attack the problem of…
We consider the generalizations of the free U(N) and O(N) scalar conformal field theories to actions with higher powers of the Laplacian box^k, in general dimension d. We study the spectra, Verma modules, anomalies and OPE of these…
