Factoring out the spin $1$ subalgebra of a $ W $ algebra leads to a new $ W $ structure which can be seen either as a rational finitely generated $ W $ algebra or as a polynomial non-linear $ W_\infty$ realization.
Finite rational $\cw$ algebras are very natural structures appearing in coset constructions when a Kac-Moody subalgebra is factored out. In this letter we address the problem of relating these algebras to integrable hierarchies of…
In this paper it is stressed that there is no {\em physical} reason for symmetries to be linear and that Lie group theory is therefore too restrictive. We illustrate this with some simple examples. Then we give a readable review on the…
The aim of this paper is to show that even if the natural algebraic semantic for modal (normal) logic is modal algebra, the more general class of subordination algebras (roughly speaking, the non symmetric contact algebras) is adequate too…
The general structure of the scalar cosets of the Maxwell-Einstein supergravities is given. Following an introduction of the non-linear coset formalism of the supergravity theories a comparison of the coset algebras of the Maxwell-Einstein…
After some definitions, we review in the first part of this talk the construction and classification of classical $W$ (super)algebras symmetries of Toda theories. The second part deals with more recently obtained properties. At first, we…
Recently, based on a supersymmetric approach, new classes of conditionally exactly solvable problems have been found, which exhibit a symmetry structure characterized by non-linear algebras. In this paper the associated ``non-linear''…
We review the new approach to the theory of nonlinear $W$-algebras which is developed recently and called {\it conformal linearization}. In this approach $W$-algebras are embedded as subalgebras into some {\it linear conformal} algebras…
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…
This paper is meant to be a short review and summary of recent results on the structure of finite and affine classical W-algebras, and the application of the latter to the theory of generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies.
In this article, the structure of the Clifford-Weyl superalgebras and their associated Lie superalgebras will be investigated. These superalgebras have a natural supersymmetric inner product which is invariant under their Lie superalgebra…
This paper presents a systematic study of the structure of non-solvable cyclic metric Lie algebras. A cyclic metric is a symmetric bilinear form satisfying a cyclic cocycle condition, which arises naturally in the contexts of…
It is shown that the closure of the infinitesimal symmetry transformations underlying classical ${\cal W}$ algebras give rise to L$_\infty$ algebras with in general field dependent gauge parameters. Therefore, the class of well understood…
Structure of certain simple $\mathcal{W}$-algebras assocated with the Deligne exceptional Lie algebras and non-admissible levels are described as the {\it simple current extensions} of certain vertex operator algebras. As an application,…
The algebra of constraints arising in the canonical quantization of N=1 supergravity in four dimensions is investigated. Using the holomorphic action, the structure functions of the algebra are given and it is shown that the algebra does…
We develop and study the generalization of rational Schur algebras to the super setting. Similar to the classical case, this provides a new method for studying rational supermodules of the general linear supergroup $GL(m|n)$. Furthermore,…
We study the classical version of supersymmetric $W$-algebras. Using the second Gelfand-Dickey Hamiltonian structure we work out in detail $W_2$ and $W_3$-algebras.
Classical W-gravities and the corresponding quantum theories are reviewed. W-gravities are higher-spin gauge theories in two dimensions whose gauge algebras are W-algebras. The geometrical structure of classical W-gravity is investigated,…
We discuss certain ternary algebraic structures appearing more or less naturally in various domains of theoretical and mathematical physics. Far from being exhaustive, this article is intended above all to draw attention to these algebras,…
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…
