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…

Starting from the well-known quantum Miura-like transformation for the non simply-laced Lie algebras B(3),we give an explicit construction of the Casimir WB(3) algebras.We reserve the notation WB(N) for the Casimir W algebras of type…

We develop a phase space path-integral approach for deriving the Lagrangian realization of the models defined by Hamiltonian reduction of the WZNW theory. We illustrate the uses of the approach by applying it to the models of non-Abelian…

The existing transformation from a relativistic real scalar field to a complex non-relativistic scalar field by Namjoo, Guth, and Kaiser is generalized from Minkowski space to a more general background metric. In that case the…

Recently, it has been shown how to perform the quantum hamiltonian reduction in the case of general $sl(2)$ embeddings into Lie (super)algebras, and in the case of general $osp(1|2)$ embeddings into Lie superalgebras. In another development…

A representation of the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\hat{sl_{2}})$ of an arbitrary level $k$ is realized in terms of three boson fields, whose $q \rightarrow 1$ limit becomes the Wakimoto representation. An analogue of the screening…

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…

In this paper we consider Wakimoto free field realizations of simple affine Lie algebras, a subject already much studied. We present three new sets of results. (i) Based on quantizing differential operator realizations of the corresponding…

In this paper we study the finitely generated algebras underlying $W$ algebras. These so called 'finite $W$ algebras' are constructed as Poisson reductions of Kirillov Poisson structures on simple Lie algebras. The inequivalent reductions…

It is well-known that the chiral WZNW Bloch waves satisfy a quadratic classical exchange algebra which implies the affine Kac-Moody algebra for the corresponding currents. We here obtain a direct derivation of the exchange algebra by…

In this paper we introduce a class of generalized supersymmetric Toda field theories. The theories are labeled by a continuous parameter and have $N=2$ supersymmetry. They include previously known $N=2$ Toda theories as special cases. Using…

We provide the geometric actions for most general N=1 supergravity in two spacetime dimensions. Our construction implies an extension to arbitrary N. This provides a supersymmetrization of any generalized dilaton gravity theory or of any…

We investigate $N=2$ extended superconformal symmetry, using the half-twisted Landau-Ginzburg models. The first example is the $D_{2n+2}$ -type minimal model. It has been conjectured that this model has a spin $n$ super $W$ current. We…

We discuss the nonlinear extension of $N=2$ superconformal algebra by generalizing Sugawara construction and coset construction built from $N=2$ currents based on Kazama-Suzuki $N=2$ coset model $\frac{SU(3)}{SU(2) \times U(1)}$ in $N=2$…

We consider real forms of Lie algebras and embeddings of sl(2) which are consistent with the construction of integrable models via Hamiltonian reduction. In other words: we examine possible non-standard reality conditions for non-abelian…

We consider the nonlinear algebras $W(sl(4),sl(3))$ and $W(sl(3|1),sl(3))$ and find their realizations in terms of currents spanning conformal linearizing algebras. The specific structure of these algebras, allows us to construct…

In this paper two kinds of two-boson realizations of the Higgs algebra are obtained by generalizing the well known Jordan-Schwinger realizations of the SU(2) and SU(1,1) algebras. In each kind, an unitary realization and two nonunitary…

To any non-trivial embedding of sl(2) in a (super) Lie algebra, one can associate an extension of the Virasoro algebra. We realize the extended Virasoro algebra in terms of a WZW model in which a chiral, solvable group is gauged, the gauge…

We deduce the $sl_{3}$ Toda realization of classical $W_3$ symmetry on two scalar fields in a geometric way, proceeding from a nonlinear realization of some associate higher-spin symmetry $W_{3}^{\infty}$. The Toda equations are recognized…

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…
