相关论文: New Realisations of W Algebras and W Strings
It has been known for some time that $W$ algebras can be realised in terms of an energy-momentum tensor together with additional free scalar fields. Some recent results have shown that more general realisations are also possible. In this…
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…
We review some of the recent developments in the construction of $W$-string theories. These are generalisations of ordinary strings in which the two-dimensional ``worldsheet'' theory, instead of being a gauging of the Virasoro algebra, is a…
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…
It has been shown that certain W algebras can be linearized by the inclusion of a spin-1 current. This Provides a way of obtaining new realizations of the W algebras. In this paper, we investigate the new ghost field realizations of the…
We investigate the representation theory of some recently constructed N=2 super W-algebras with two generators. Except for the central charges in the unitary minimal series of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra we find no new rational models.…
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 investigate the new spinor field realizations of the $W_{3}$ algebra, making use of the fact that the $W_{3}$ algebra can be linearized by the addition of a spin-1 current. We then use these new realizations to build the nilpotent…
We consider the nonlinear algebras $W(sl(4),sl(3))$ and $W(sl(3|1),sl(3))$ and find their realizations in terms of currents spanning conformal linearizing algebras. The specific structure of these algebras, allows us to construct…
We provide a general description of realisations of W--algebras in terms of smaller W--algebras and free fields. This is based on the definition of the W--algebra as the commutant of a set of screening charges. This is conjectured to be…
We investigate new realisations of the $W_3$ algebra with arbitrary central charge, making use of the fact that this algebra can be linearised by the inclusion of a spin-1 current. We use the new realisations with $c=102$ and $c=100$ to…
We bosonise the complex-boson realisations of the $W_\infty$ and $W_{1+\infty}$ algebras. We obtain nonlinear realisations of $W_\infty$ and $W_{1+\infty}$ in terms of a pair of fermions and a real scalar. By further bosonising the…
We investigate the structure of an infinite-dimensional symmetry of the four-dimensional K\"ahler WZW model, which is a possible extension of the two-dimensional WZW model. We consider the SL(2,R) group and, using the Gauss decomposition…
The recently derived current algebra of classical non-linear sigma models on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds is extended to include the energy-momentum tensor. It is found that in two dimensions the energy-momentum tensor $\theta_{\mu\nu}$,…
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…
The most disappointing aspect of $\W$-strings is probably the fact that at least for the known models one does not recover a physical spectrum that differs much from that of ordinary string theory. It is hoped that this is not an intrinsic…
We construct $N=2$ super-$W_{n+1}$ strings and obtain the complete physical spectrum, for arbitrary $n \ge 2$. We also derive more general realisations of the super-$W_{n+1}$ algebras in terms of $k$ commuting $N=2$ super energy-momentum…
Symmetry transformations of the space-time fields of string theory are generated by certain similarity transformations of the stress-tensor of the associated conformal field theories. This observation is complicated by the fact that, as we…
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…
Consistently constrained WZWN models on G/{S x U(1)^n} is given by constraining currents of the WZWN models with G. Poisson brackets are set up on the light-like plane. Using them we show the Virasoro algebra for the energy-momentum tensor…
