We show that the Zamolodchikov's and Polyakov-Bershadsky nonlinear algebras $W_3$ and $W_3^{(2)}$ can be embedded as subalgebras into some {\em linear} algebras with finite set of currents. Using these linear algebras we find new field…
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…
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…
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)…
We propose a simple method for constructing representations of (super)conformal and nonlinear W-type algebras in terms of their subalgebras and corresponding Nambu-Goldstone fields. We apply it to N=2 and N=1 superconformal algebras and…
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…
In a recent paper, the authors have shown that the secondary reduction of W-algebras provides a natural framework for the linearization of W-algebras. In particular, it allows in a very simple way the calculation of the linear algebra…
We give a review of the extended conformal algebras, known as $W$ algebras, which contain currents of spins higher than 2 in addition to the energy-momentum tensor. These include the non-linear $W_N$ algebras; the linear $W_\infty$ and…
A classification of (super) $W$ algebras arising from non Abelian Toda and super Toda theories is presented. This classification is based on the $Sl(2)$ or $OSp(1|2)$ sub(super)algebras of the simple Lie (super)algebra underlying the model.…
It has been shown that certain $W$ algebras can be linearised by the inclusion of a spin--1 current. This provides a way of obtaining new realisations of the $W$ algebras. Recently such new realisations of $W_3$ were used in order to embed…
We prove that the family of non-linear $W$-algebras $SW(3/2,2)$ which are extensions of the $N=1$ superconformal algebra by a primary supercurrent of conformal weight $2$ can be realized as a quantum Hamiltonian reduction 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…
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.
In this paper, we investigate the spinor field realizations of the $W_{2,4}$ algebra, making use of the fact that the $W_{2,4}$ algebra can be linearized through the addition of a spin-1 current. And then the nilpotent BRST charges of the…
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…
We construct the nonlinear $W(sl(N+3),sl(3))$ algebras and find the spectrum of values of the central charge that gives rise, by contracting the $W(sl(N+3),sl(3))$ algebras, to a $W_3$ algebra belonging to the coset…
We obtain a new free field realization of $N=2$ super $W_{3}$ algebra using the technique of quantum hamiltonian reduction. The construction is based on a particular choice of the simple root system of the affine Lie superalgebra…
In 2D conformal quantum field theory, we continue a systematic study of W-algebras with two and three generators and their highest weight representations focussing mainly on rational models. We review the known facts about rational models…
A unified treatment of both superconformal and quasisuperconformal algebras with quadratic non-linearity is given. General formulas describing their structure are found by solving the Jacobi identities. A complete classification of…
The SW(3/2,3/2,2) superconformal algebra is a W algebra with two free parameters. It consists of 3 superconformal currents of spins 3/2, 3/2 and 2. The algebra is proved to be the symmetry algebra of the coset (su(2)+su(2)+su(2))/su(2). At…
