We define the two-dimensional $O(n)$ conformal field theory as a theory that includes the critical dilute and dense $O(n)$ models as special cases, and depends analytically on the central charge. For generic values of $n\in\mathbb{C}$, we…
We consider a two-dimensional conformal field theory which contains two kinds of the bosonic degrees of freedom. Two linear dilaton fields enable us to study a more general case. Various properties of the model such as OPEs, central charge,…

We discuss the $N=2$ super $W$ algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras $A(n|n-1)^{(1)}$ and $A(n|n)^{(1)}$. From the quantum hamiltonian reduction of $A(n|n-1)^{(1)}$ we get the free field realization of $N=2$…
