Abstract

We study the even spin W\mathcal{W}_\infty which is a universal W\mathcal{W}-algebra for orthosymplectic series of W\mathcal{W}-algebras. We use the results of Fateev and Lukyanov to embed the algebra into W1+\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}. Choosing the generators to be quadratic in those of W1+\mathcal{W}_{1+\infty}, we find that the algebra has quadratic operator product expansions. Truncations of the universal algebra include principal Drinfe\v{l}d-Sokolov reductions of BCDBCD series of simple Lie algebras, orthogonal and symplectic cosets as well as orthosymplectic YY-algebras of Gaiotto and Rap\v{c}\'{a}k. Based on explicit calculations we conjecture a complete list of co-dimension 11 truncations of the algebra.
