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 Bershadsky-Polyakov algebras are the minimal quantum hamiltonian reductions of the affine vertex algebras associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ and their simple quotients have a long history of applications in conformal field theory and…
We present a realisation of the universal/simple Bershadsky--Polyakov vertex algebras as subalgebras of the tensor product of the universal/simple Zamolodchikov vertex algebras and an isotropic lattice vertex algebra. This generalises the…
Subregular W-algebras are an interesting and increasingly important class of quantum hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras. Here, we show that the $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$ subregular W-algebra can be realised in terms of the…
We study the simple Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra $\mathcal W_k = \mathcal{W}_k(sl_3,f_{\theta})$ at positive integer levels and classify their irreducible modules. In this way we confirm the conjecture from arXiv:1910.13781. Next, we study…
We consider the extended superconformal algebras of the Knizhnik-Bershadsky type with $W$-algebra like composite operators occurring in the commutation relations, but with generators of conformal dimension 1,$\frac{3}{2}$ and 2, only. These…
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…
W-algebras are constructed via quantum Hamiltonian reduction associated with a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$-embedding into $\mathfrak{g}$. We derive correspondences among correlation functions of theories having…
The parafermionic cosets $C_k = \mathrm{Com} (H, L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_2) )$ are studied for negative admissible levels $k$, as are certain infinite-order simple current extensions $B_k$ of $C_k$. Under the assumption that the tensor theory…
Relaxing first-class constraint conditions in the usual Drinfeld-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction leads, after symmetry fixing, to realizations of W algebras expressed in terms of all the J-current components. General results are given for G a…
The first part of this work uses the algorithm recently detailed in arXiv:1906.02935 to classify the irreducible weight modules of the minimal model vertex operator algebra $L_k(\mathfrak{sl}_3)$, when the level $k$ is admissible. These are…
This article gives a complete account of the modular properties and Verlinde formula for conformal field theories based on the affine Kac-Moody algebra sl(2) at an arbitrary admissible level k. Starting from spectral flow and the structure…
We study the minimal models associated to $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$, otherwise known as the fractional-level Wess-Zumino-Witten models of $\mathfrak{osp}(1 \vert 2)$. Since these minimal models are extensions of the tensor product of…
We find modular transformations of normalized characters for the following $W$-algebras: (a) $W^{min}_k(\frak{g})$, where $\frak{g}=D_n \, (n \geq 4)$, or $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$, and $k$ is a negative integer $\geq -2$, or $\geq…
The Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra is the $\mathcal{W}$-algebra associated to $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_3$ with its minimal nilpotent element $f_{\theta}$. For notational convenience we define $\mathcal{W}^{\ell} = \mathcal{W}^{\ell - 3/2}…
We construct a bijection between admissible representations for an affine Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ at boundary admissible levels and $\mathbb{C}^\times$ fixed points in homogeneous elliptic affine Springer fibres for the Langlands dual…
We introduce the partial reductions and inverse Hamiltonian reductions between affine $\mathcal{W}$-algebras along the closure relations of associated nilpotent orbits in the case of $\mathfrak{sl}_4$, fulfilling all the missing…
We show that the Zamolodchikov's and Polyakov-Bershadsky nonlinear algebras $W_3$ and $W_3^{(2)}$ can be embedded as subalgebras into some {\em linear} algebras with finite set of currents. Using these linear algebras we find new field…
We give a geometric proof of inverse Hamiltonian reduction for all finite W-algebras in type $A$, a certain embedding of the finite W-algebra corresponding to an arbitrary nilpotent in $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ into that corresponding to a larger…
