Quasi root systems and vertex operator realizations of the Virasoro algebra

A construction of the Virasoro algebra in terms of free massless two-dimensional boson fields is studied. The ansatz for the Virasoro field contains the most general unitary scaling dimension 2 expression built from vertex operators. The ansatz leads in a natural way to a concept of a quasi root system. This is a new notion generalizing the notion of a root system in the theory of Lie algebras. We introduce a definition of a quasi root system and provide an extensive list of examples. Explicit solutions of the ansatz are presented for a range of quasi root systems.

Z2 x Z2 graded superconformal algebra of parafermionic type

We present a new conformal algebra. It is Z2 x Z2 graded and generated by three N=1 superconformal algebras coupled to each other by nontrivial relations of parafermionic type. The representation theory and unitary models of the algebra are briefly discussed. We also conjecture the existence of infinite series of parafermionic algebras containing many N=1 or N=2 superconformal subalgebras.

Algebraic approach to parafermionic conformal field theories

Parafermionic conformal field theories are considered on a purely algebraic basis. The generalized Jacobi type identity is presented. Systems of free fermions coupled to each other by nontrivial parafermionic type relations are studied in detail. A new parafermionic conformal algebra is introduced, it describes the sl(2|1)/u(1)^2 coset system.

Ramond sector of superconformal algebras via quantum reduction

Quantum hamiltonian reduction of affine superalgebras is studied in the twisted case. The Ramond sector of "minimal" superconformal W-algebras is described in detail, the determinant formula is obtained. Extensive list of examples includes all the simple Lie superalgebras of rank up to 2. The paper generalizes the results of Kac and Wakimoto (math-ph/0304011) to the twisted case.

Unitary minimal models of SW(3/2,3/2,2) superconformal algebra and manifolds of G_2 holonomy

The SW(3/2,3/2,2) superconformal algebra is a W algebra with two free parameters. It consists of 3 superconformal currents of spins 3/2, 3/2 and 2. The algebra is proved to be the symmetry algebra of the coset (su(2)+su(2)+su(2))/su(2). At the central charge c=21/2 the algebra coincides with the superconformal algebra associated to manifolds of G_2 holonomy. The unitary minimal models of the SW(3/2,3/2,2) algebra and their fusion structure are found. The spectrum of unitary representations of the G_2 holonomy algebra is obtained.

Unitary representations of SW(3/2,2) superconformal algebra

SW(3/2,2) superconformal algebra is W algebra with two Virasoro operators. The Kac determinant is calculated and the complete list of unitary representations is determined. Two types of extensions of SW(3/2,2) algebra are discussed. A new approach to construction of W algebras from rational conformal field theories is proposed.
