Abstract

In the coset model (DN(1)DN(1),DN(1))(D_N^{(1)} \oplus D_N^{(1)},D_N^{(1)}) at levels (k1,k2)(k_1,k_2), the higher spin 44 current that contains the quartic WZW currents contracted with completely symmetric SO(2N)SO(2N) invariant dd tensor of rank 44 is obtained. The three-point functions with two scalars are obtained for any finite NN and k2k_2 with k1=1k_1=1. They are determined also in the large NN 't Hooft limit. When one of the levels is the dual Coxeter number of SO(2N)SO(2N), k1=2N2k_1=2N-2, the higher spin 72\frac{7}{2} current, which contains the septic adjoint fermions contracted with the above dd tensor and the triple product of structure constants, is obtained from the operator product expansion (OPE) between the spin 32\frac{3}{2} current living in the N=1{\cal N}=1 superconformal algebra and the above higher spin 44 current. The OPEs between the higher spin 72,4\frac{7}{2}, 4 currents are described. For k1=k2=2N2k_1=k_2=2N-2 where both levels are equal to the dual Coxeter number of SO(2N)SO(2N), the higher spin 33 current of U(1)U(1) charge 43\frac{4}{3}, which contains the six product of spin 12\frac{1}{2} (two) adjoint fermions contracted with the product of dd tensor and two structure constants, is obtained. The corresponding N=2{\cal N}=2 higher spin multiplet is determined by calculating the remaining higher spin 72,72,4\frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}, 4 currents with the help of two spin 32\frac{3}{2} currents in the N=2{\cal N}=2 superconformal algebra. The other N=2{\cal N}=2 higher spin multiplet, whose U(1)U(1) charge is opposite to the one of above N=2{\cal N}=2 higher spin multiplet, is obtained. The OPE between these two N=2{\cal N}=2 higher spin mutiplets is also discussed.
