We construct a realization of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{sl_N})$ of an arbitrary level $k$ in terms of free boson fields. In the $q\!\rightarrow\! 1$ limit this realization becomes the Wakimoto realization of $\widehat{sl_N}$.…
A bosonization of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(\widehat{sl}(M|N))$ is presented for an arbitrary level $k \in {\bf C}$.The Wakimoto realization is given by using $\xi-\eta$ system. The screening operators that commute with…
A generalized Wakimoto realization of $\widehat{\cal G}_K$ can be associated with each parabolic subalgebra ${\cal P}=({\cal G}_0 +{\cal G}_+)$ of a simple Lie algebra ${\cal G}$ according to an earlier proposal by Feigin and Frenkel. In…
A boson representation of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\sl}_2)$ is realized based on the Wakimoto construction. We discuss relations with the other boson representations.
It is known from a work of Feigin and Frenkel that a Wakimoto type, generalized free field realization of the current algebra $\widehat{\cal G}_k$ can be associated with each parabolic subalgebra ${\cal P}=({\cal G}_0+{\cal G}_+)$ of the…
We give a bosonization of the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q(\widehat{sl}(N|1))$ for an arbitrary level $k \in {\bf C}$. The bosonization of level $k \in {\bf C}$ is completely different from those of level $k=1$. From this bosonization,…
We construct embeddings of $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2$ in lattice vertex algebras by composing the Wakimoto realization with the Friedan-Martinec-Shenker bosonization. The Kac-Wakimoto hierarchy then gives rise to two new hierarchies of…
In a vertex algebraic framework, we present an explicit description of the twisted Wakimoto realizations of the affine Lie algebras in correspondence with an arbitrary finite order automorphism and a compatible integral gradation of a…
The Feigin-Frenkel homomorphism underpinning the Wakimoto construction realises an affine Lie algebra at critical level in terms of the $\beta\gamma$-system of free fields. It was recently shown that much of the construction also goes…
We present a new method to find solutions of the Virasoro master equations for any affine Lie algebra $\widehat{g}$. The basic idea is to consider first the simplified case of an In\"on\"u-Wigner contraction $\widehat{g}_c$ of $\widehat{g}$…
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…
An explicit realization of the affine Lie algebra \hat{sl}_2(C) at the critical level is constructed using a mixture of bosons and parafermions. Subsequently a representation of the associated Lepowsky-Wilson Z-algebra is given on a space…
We show that the deformed Virasoro algebra specializes in a certain limit to Lepowsky-Wilson's Z-algebra. This leads to a free field realization of the affine Lie algebra \hat{sl_2} which respects the principal gradation. We discuss some…
Free field representations of the affine superalgebra $A(1,0)^{(1)}$ at level $k$ are needed in the description of the noncritical $N=2$ string. The superalgebra admits two inequivalent choices of simple roots. We give the Wakimoto…
For n\geq 2, there is a free field realization of the affine vertex superalgebra A associated to psl(n|n) at critical level inside the bc\beta\gamma system W of rank n^2. We show that the commutant C=Com(A,W) is purely bosonic and is freely…
A representation of the quantum affine algebra $U_{q}(\widehat{sl}_3)$ of an arbitrary level $k$ is constructed in the Fock module of eight boson fields. This realization reduces the Wakimoto representation in the $q \rightarrow 1$ limit.…
Working at the level of Poisson brackets, we describe the extension of the generalized Wakimoto realization of a simple Lie algebra valued current, J, to a corresponding realization of a group valued chiral primary field, b, that has…
We use an argument of Romans showing that every Virasoro construction leads to realizations of $W_3$, to construct $W_3$ realizations on arbitrary affine Lie algebras. Solutions are presented for generic values of the level as well as for…
We study the problem of constructing N=2 superconformal algebras out of an N=1 affine Lie algebra. Following a recent independent observation of Getzler and the author, we derive a simplified set of N=2 master equations, which we then…
The Wakimoto construction for the quantum affine algebra U_q(\hat{sl}_2) admits a reduction to the q-deformed parafermion algebras. We interpret the latter theory as a free field realization of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester models in regime…
