In this paper we consider the structure of general quantum W-algebras. We introduce the notions of deformability, positive-definiteness, and reductivity of a W-algebra. We show that one can associate a reductive finite Lie algebra to each…
A systematic construction of super W-algebras in terms of the WZNW model based on a super Lie algebra is presented. These are shown to be the symmetry structure of the super Toda models, which can be obtained from the WZNW theory by…
Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…
We construct irreducible modules V_{\alpha}, \alpha \in \C over W_3 algebra with c = -2 in terms of a free bosonic field. We prove that these modules exhaust all the irreducible modules of W_3 algebra with c = -2. Highest weights of modules…
The four different kinds of currents are given by the multiple $(\beta,\gamma)$ and $(b,c)$ ghost systems with a multiple product of derivatives. We determine their complete algebra where the structure constants depend on the deformation…
We discuss how to systematically compute the asymptotic symmetry algebras of generic three-dimensional bosonic higher-spin gauge theories in backgrounds that are asymptotically AdS. We apply these techniques to a one-parameter family of…
We formulate and prove examples of a conjecture which describes the W-algebras in type A as successive quantum Hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras associated with several hook-type nilpotent orbits. This implies that the affine…
We present a classification of $W$ algebras and superalgebras arising in Abelian as well as non Abelian Toda theories. Each model, obtained from a constrained WZW action, is related with an $Sl(2)$ subalgebra (resp. $OSp(1|2)$ superalgebra)…
Recently it has been discovered that the W-algebras (orbifold of) WD_n can be defined even for negative integers n by an analytic continuation of their coupling constants. In this letter we shall argue that also the algebras WA_{-n-1} can…
Coset constructions of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras have many applications, and were recently given for principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras of $A$, $D$, and $E$ types by Arakawa together with the first and third authors. In this paper, we give coset…
By computing the operator product expansions between the first two ${\cal N}=4$ higher spin multiplets in the unitary coset model, the (anti)commutators of higher spin currents are obtained under the large $(N,k)$ 't Hooft-like limit. The…
We provide the analytic expressions of the totally symmetric and anti-symmetric structure constants in the $\mathfrak{su}(N)$ Lie algebra. The derivation is based on a relation linking the index of a generator to the indexes of its non-null…
We continue analysis of \cite{Parsa:2018kys} and study rigidity and stability of the BMS4 algebra and its centrally extended version. We construct and classify the family of algebras which appear as deformations of BMS4 and in general find…
The Schubert problem asks for combinatorial models to compute structure constants of the cohomology ring with respect to Schubert classes and has been an important open problem in algebraic geometry and combinatorics that guided fruitful…
The higher-spin (HS) algebras so far known can be interpreted as the symmetries of the minimal representation of the isometry algebra. After discussing this connection briefly, we generalize this concept to any classical Lie algebras and…
First, we derive an explicit formula for the Poisson bracket of the classical finite W-algebra W^{fin}(g,f), the algebra of polynomial functions on the Slodowy slice associated to a simple Lie algebra g and its nilpotent element f. On the…
A closed formula for the structure constants in the SL(2,C)/SU(2) WZNW model is derived by a method previously used in Liouville theory. With the help of a reflection amplitude that follows from the structure constants one obtains a…
We classify all simple strong Harish-Chandra modules for the Lie superalgebra $W(m,n)$. We show that every such module is either strongly cuspidal or a module of the highest weight type. We construct tensor modules for $W(m,n)$, which are…
For the vanishing deformation parameter $\lambda$, the full structure of the (anti)commutator relations in the ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric linear $W_{\infty}[\lambda=0]$ algebra is obtained for arbitrary weights $h_1$ and $h_2$ of the…
We investigate the representation theory of some recently constructed N=2 super W-algebras with two generators. Except for the central charges in the unitary minimal series of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra we find no new rational models.…
