We prove Feigin-Frenkel type dualities between subregular W-algebras of type A, B and principal W-superalgebras of type $\mathfrak{sl}(1|n), \mathfrak{osp}(2|2n)$. The type A case proves a conjecture of Feigin and Semikhatov. Let…
Feigin-Semikhatov conjecture, now established, states algebraic isomorphisms between the cosets of the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebras and the principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebras of type A by their full Heisenberg subalgebras. It can be…
Affine W-algebras are a somewhat complicated family of (topological) associative algebras associated with a semisimple Lie algebra, quantizing functions on the algebraic loop space of Kostant's slice. They have attracted a great deal of…
We examine a strong/weak duality between a Heisenberg coset of a theory with $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra symmetry and a theory with a $\mathfrak{sl}_{n|1}$-structure. In a previous work, two of the current authors…
Feigin-Frenkel duality is the isomorphism between the principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras of a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and its Langlands dual Lie algebra ${}^L\mathfrak{g}$. A generalization of this duality to a larger family of…
Based on the Kazama-Suzuki type coset construction and its inverse coset between the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ and the principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebras for $\mathfrak{sl}_{1|n}$, we prove weight-wise…
We study the structure and representation theory of the principal W-algebra $\mathsf{W}^{\mathsf{k}}_{\mathrm{pr}}$ of $\mathsf{V}^{\mathsf{k}}(\mathfrak{psl}_{2|2})$. The defining operator product expansions are computed, as is the Zhu…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic Lie superalgebra and $f$ be an odd nilpotent element in an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. We provide a mathematical proof of the statement that the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g},F)$ for…
We examine rectangular W-algebras with $so(M)$ or $sp(2M)$ symmetry, which can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravities with restricted matrix extensions. We compute the central charges of the algebras and the levels…
We investigate representations of the $\ell$-th Takiff superalgebras $\widetilde{\mathfrak g}_\ell := \widetilde{\mathfrak g}\otimes \mathbb C[\theta]/(\theta^{\ell+1})$, for $\ell>0$, associated with a basic classical and a periplectic Lie…
We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…
The minimal representation of a semisimple Lie group is a 'small' infinite-dimensional irreducible unitary representation. It is thought to correspond to the minimal nilpotent coadjoint orbit in Kirillov's orbit philosophy. The…
We present the Wakimoto construction of the super OSp(1,2) and SL(2,1) Kac-Moody algebras and the free field representation of the corresponding WZW models. After imposing suitable constraints, we can lead the Feigin-Fuchs representation of…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate supersymmetric even invariant bilinear form, $f$ a nilpotent element in the even part of $\mathfrak{g}$, $\Gamma$ a good grading of $\mathfrak{g}$ for…
We study theories with W-algebra symmetries and their relation to WZNW models on (super-)groups. Correlation functions of the WZNW models are expressed in terms of correlators of CFTs with W-algebra symmetry. The symmetries of the theories…
We study the representation theory of the superconformal algebra $W_k(g,f_{\theta})$ associated with a minimal gradation of $g$. Here, $g$ is a simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate, even supersymmetric invariant…
Feigin-Stoyanovsky's type subspace $W(\Lambda)$ of a standard $\tilde{{\mathfrak g}}$-module $L(\Lambda)$ is a $\tilde{{\mathfrak g}}_1$-submodule of $L(\Lambda)$ generated by the highest-weight vector $v_\Lambda$, where $\tilde{{\mathfrak…
We investigate whether there are unitary families of W-algebras with spin one fields in the natural example of the Feigin-Semikhatov W^(2)_n-algebra. This algebra is conjecturally a quantum Hamiltonian reduction corresponding to a…
The universal $2$-parameter vertex algebra $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$ of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots)$ is a classifying object for vertex algebras of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots,N)$ for some $N$; under mild hypotheses, all such vertex algebras…
This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, we prove that when $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple basic Lie superalgebra with a principal odd nilpotent element $f$, the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g}, F)$ for $F=-\frac{1}{2}[f,f]$ is…
