We consider the Ramond sector of the $N=1$ superconformal algebra and find expressions for the singular vectors in reducible highest weight Verma module representations by the fusion principle of Bauer et al.
We construct $W_3$ null vectors of a restricted class explicitly in two different forms. The method we use is an extension of that of Bauer et al.~in the Virasoro case. Our results are analogous to the formulae of Benoit and St.~Aubin for the Virasoro null vectors. We derive in the Virasoro case some alternative formulae for the same null vectors involving only the $L_{-1}$ and $L_{-2}$ modes of the Virasoro algebra. }
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 related to partial gauge-fixings in the Hamiltonian reduction model.
We consider Quantum Toda theory associated to a general Lie algebra. We prove that the conserved quantities in both conformal and affine Toda theories exhibit duality interchanging the Dynkin diagram and its dual, and inverting the coupling constant. As an example we discuss the conformal Toda theories based on $B_2,B_3$ and $G_2$ and the related affine theories.
