Universal $2$-parameter $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$-algebra

The universal $2$-parameter vertex algebra $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$ of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots)$ is a classifying object for vertex algebras of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots,N)$ for some $N$; under mild hypotheses, all such vertex algebras arise as quotients of $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$. In 2017, Gaiotto and Rap\v{c}\'ak introduced a family of such vertex algebras called $Y$-algebras, and conjectured that they fall into groups of three that are mutually isomorphic. This is a common generalization of both Feigin-Frenkel duality and the coset realization of principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras in type $A$, and was proven in 2021 for the simple $Y$-algebras (i.e., one label is zero) by the first and third authors. In this paper, we extend this entire story to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal setting. First, we prove the 2013 conjecture of Gaberdiel and Candu that there exists a universal $2$-parameter vertex algebra $\mathcal{W}^{\mathcal{N}=2}_{\infty}$ which is an extension of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal algebra, and has four additional generators in weights $i, i + \frac{1}{2}, i + \frac{1}{2}, i+1$, for each integer $i > 1$. This admits many $1$-parameter quotients which we call $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $Y$-algebras, and we prove the dualities among these algebras which were conjectured in 2018 by Prochazka and Rap\v{c}\'ak. A special case is the coset realization of the principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebra $\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1|n})$ which was conjectured in 1992 by Ito. As a corollary, we obtain the strong rationality of $\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1|n})$ for $k = -1 + \frac{1}{n+a+1}$ for all positive integers $n,a$, and we describe its module category. This generalizes Adamovi\'c's 1999 result on $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal models, which is the case $n=1$.

Supersymmetries in the theory of W-algebras

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a basic Lie superalgebra and $f$ be an odd nilpotent element in an $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ subalgebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. We provide a mathematical proof of the statement that the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g},F)$ for $F=-\frac{1}{2}[f,f]$ is a vertex subalgebra of the SUSY W-algebra $W_{N=1}^k(\mathfrak{g},f)$, and that it commutes with all weight $\frac{1}{2}$ fields in $W_{N=1}^k(\mathfrak{g},f)$. Note that it has been long believed by physicists \cite{MadRag94}. In particular, when $f$ is a minimal nilpotent, we explicitly describe superfields which generate $W^k_{N=1}(\mathfrak{g},f)$ as a SUSY vertex algebra and their OPE relations in terms of the $N=1$ $\Lambda$-bracket introduced in \cite{HK07}. In the last part of this paper, we define $N=2,3$, and small or big $N=4$ SUSY vertex operator algebras as conformal extensions of $W^k_{N=1}(\mathfrak{sl}(2|1),f_{\text{min}})$, $W^k_{N=1}(\mathfrak{osp}(3|2),f_{\text{min}})$, $W^k_{N=1}(\mathfrak{psl}(2|2),f_{\text{min}})$, and $W^k_{N=1}(D(2,1;\alpha)\oplus \mathbb{C},f_{\text{min}})$, respectively, for the minimal odd nilpotent $f_{\text{min}}$, and examine some examples.

Principal SUSY and nonSUSY W-algebras and their Zhu algebras

This paper consists of two parts. In the first part, we prove that when $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple basic Lie superalgebra with a principal odd nilpotent element $f$, the W-algebra $W^k(\mathfrak{g}, F)$ for $F=-\frac{1}{2}[f,f]$ is isomorphic to the SUSY W-algebra $W^k(\bar{\mathfrak{g}},f)$ via screening operators, which implies the supersymmetry of $W^k(\mathfrak{g}, F)$. In the second part, we show that a finite SUSY W-algebra, which is a Hamiltonian reduction of $U(\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}})$ for the SUSY Takiff algebra $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}}=\mathfrak{g}\otimes \wedge(\theta)$ is isomorphic to the Zhu algebra of a SUSY W-algebra. As a corollary, we show that a finite SUSY principal W-algebra is isomorphic to a finite principal W-algebra.

Free Field Realization of Supersymmetric W-algebras

We show that supersymmetric(SUSY) W-algebra of generic level can be realized as an intersection of the kernels of the screening operators. Applying this result to principal SUSY W-algebras, we get their free field realization inside the SUSY Heisenberg vertex algebras. Furthermore, the screening operators for principal SUSY W-algebras allow us to present them as intersections of the principal SUSY W-algebras associated with $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$, $\mathfrak{osp}(2|2)$, $\mathfrak{osp}(3|2)$ and $\mathfrak{osp}(4|2)$, tensored with SUSY Heisenberg vertex algebras.

$N=2$ supersymmetric structures on classical $W$-algebras

We describe an $N=2$ supersymmetric Poisson vertex algebra structure of $N=1$ (resp. $N=0$) classical $W$-algebra associated with $\mathfrak{sl}(n+1|n)$ and the odd (resp. even) principal nilpotent element. This $N=2$ supersymmetric structure is connected to the principal $\mathfrak{sl}(2|1)$-embedding in $\mathfrak{sl}(n+1|n)$ superalgebras, which are the only basic Lie superalgebras that admit such a principal embedding.

Dirac reductions and Classical W-algebras

In the first part of this paper, we generalize Dirac reduction to the extent of non-local Poisson vertex superalgebra and non-local SUSY Poisson vertex algebra cases. Next, we modify this reduction so that we explain the structures of classical W-superalgebras and SUSY classical W-algebras in terms of the modified Dirac reduction.
