Superstring field theory was recently used to derive a four-dimensional Maxwell action with manifest duality. This action is related to the McClain-Wu-Yu Hamiltonian and can be locally coupled to electric and magnetic sources. In this…
We explicitly construct the extension of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by two super primary fields of dimension two and three with vanishing u(1)-charge. Using a super covariant formalism we obtain two different solutions both consistent…
We investigate extensions of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by one additional super primary field and its charge conjugate. Using a supersymmetric covariant formalism we construct all N=2 super W-algebras up to spin 5/2 of the additional…
Two super-analogs of the Schur-Weyl duality are considered: the duality of actions in $(\mathbb{C}^{m|n})^{\otimes N}$ of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m,n)$ and the symmetric group $S_N$, and the duality of actions of the Lie…
We present a manifestly $N=2$ supersymmetric formulation of $N=2$ super-$W_3^{(2)}$ algebra (its classical version) in terms of the spin 1 unconstrained supercurrent generating a $N=2$ superconformal subalgebra and the spins 1/2, 2 bosonic…
The Noether charge algebras of D-brane actions contain two anomalous terms which modify the standard supertranslation algebra. We use a cocycle approach to derive associated spectra of topological charge algebras. The formalism is applied…
The structure of classical non-linear $\cw$ algebras closing on rational functions is analyzed both for the ordinary and the supersymmetric case. Such algebras appear as a result of a coset construction. Their relevance to physical…
A nonlinear realization of super $W_{\infty}$ algebra is shown to exist through a consistent superLax formulation of super KP hierarchy. The reduction of the superLax operator gives rise to the Lax operators for $N=2$ generalized super KdV…
We describe the action of the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra $W_{1+\infty}$ and its B-type analogue on Schur and Schur Q-functions, respectively, using formal distributions framework. We observe an interesting self-duality property…
Using examples of a D=2 chiral scalar and a duality-symmetric formulation of D=4 Maxwell theory we study duality properties of actions for describing chiral bosons. In particular, in the D=4 case, upon performing a duality transform of an…
We construct the nonlinear $N=2$ super-$W_3^{(2)}$ algebra with an arbitrary central charge at the classical level in the framework of Polyakov "soldering" procedure. It contains two non-intersecting subalgebras: $N=2$ superconformal…
While string or Yang-Mills theories are based on Lie algebra or two-algebra structure, recent studies indicate that M-theory may require a one higher, three-algebra structure. Here we construct a covariant action for a supermembrane in…
Following arXiv:0909.5586 and arXiv:1411.4125, we construct two super-extensions of the usual tensor algebra through the super-actions of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras respectively. For each extension, we consider a special type of…
We show that a wide class of $W$-(super)algebras, including $W_N^{(N-1)}$, $U(N)$-superconformal as well as $W_N$ nonlinear algebras, can be linearized by embedding them as subalgebras into some {\em linear} (super)conformal algebras with…
The N=1 superspace generalization of the 3-brane action in 6 dimensions with partially broken N=2 supersymmetry can be constructed using N=1 chiral, complex linear, or real linear superfields. The physical scalars of these multiplets give…
Two dimensional N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models on hermitian symmetric spaces are formulated in terms of the auxiliary superfields. If we eliminate auxiliary vector and chiral superfields, they give D- and F-term constraints to…
Starting from superdifferential operators in an $N=1$ superfield formulation, we present a systematic prescription for the derivation of classical $N=1$ and $N=2$ super W-algebras by imposing a zero-curvature condition on the connection of…
In this paper we consider extensions of the super Virasoro algebra by one and two super primary fields. Using a non-explicitly covariant approach we compute all SW-algebras with one generator of dimension up to 7 in addition to the super…
Non--Abelian duality in relation to supersymmetry is examined. When the action of the isometry group on the complex structures is non--trivial, extended supersymmetry is realized non--locally after duality, using path ordered Wilson lines.…
The fact that certain non-linear $W_{2,s}$ algebras can be linearized by the inclusion of a spin-1 current can provide a simple way to realize $W_{2,s}$ algebras from linear $W_{1,2,s}$ algebras. In this paper, we first construct the…
