We present methods for computing the explicit decomposition of the minimal simple affine W-algebra Wk(g,θ) as a module for its maximal affine subalgebra k( g♮) at a conformal level k, that is, whenever the Virasoro vectors of Wk(g,θ) and k(g♮) coincide. A particular emphasis is given on the application of affine fusion rules to the determination of branching rules. In almost all cases when ♮ is a semisimple Lie algebra, we show that, for a suitable conformal level k, Wk(g,θ) is isomorphic to an extension of k(g♮) by its simple module. We are able to prove that in certain cases Wk(g,θ) is a simple current extension of k(g♮) . In order to analyze more complicated non simple current extensions at conformal levels, we present an explicit realization of the simple W-algebra Wk(sl(4),θ) at k = −8/3. We prove, as conjectured in [3], that Wk(sl(4),θ) is isomorphic to the vertex algebra ℛ(3), and construct infinitely many singular vectors using screening operators.

Abstract
We present methods for computing the explicit decomposition of the minimal simple affine W-algebra Wk(g,θ) as a module for its maximal affine subalgebra k( g♮) at a conformal level k, that is, whenever the Virasoro vectors of Wk(g,θ) and k(g♮) coincide. A particular emphasis is given on the application of affine fusion rules to the determination of branching rules. In almost all cases when ♮ is a semisimple Lie algebra, we show that, for a suitable conformal level k, Wk(g,θ) is isomorphic to an extension of k(g♮) by its simple module. We are able to prove that in certain cases Wk(g,θ) is a simple current extension of k(g♮) . In order to analyze more complicated non simple current extensions at conformal levels, we present an explicit realization of the simple W-algebra Wk(sl(4),θ) at k = −8/3. We prove, as conjectured in [3], that Wk(sl(4),θ) is isomorphic to the vertex algebra ℛ(3), and construct infinitely many singular vectors using screening operators. We also construct a new family of simple current modules for the vertex algebra Vk(sl(n)) at certain admissible levels and for Vk(sl(m|n)),m≠n,m,n≥1 at arbitrary levels.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
