Explicit WN(2)W^{(2)}_N subalgebras of extended \Wn,\W_{n,\ell}-algebras

Let Wn,\mathfrak{W}_{n,\ell} be an extended algebra constructed from gl^(11)\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(1\mid 1), and let WN(2)W^{(2)}_N denote the Feigin–Semikhatov algebra at level KK. Explicit subalgebra conjecture. The extended algebra Wn,\mathfrak{W}_{n,\ell} has a subalgebra isomorphic to WN(2)W^{(2)}_N of level KK in each of the following cases:

=1, n=0,1,2,,N=2n+1,K=2(n1)(2n+1)/(2n1);=1, n=12,32,52,,N=2n+1,K=(2n21)/n;=2, n=34,14,14,,N=4(n+1),K=2(n+1)(4n+1)/(2n+1);n=12(1), =1,2,3,,N=,K=(21)/.\begin{array}{ll} \ell=1,\ n=0,1,2,\ldots, & N=2n+1,\quad K=-2(n-1)(2n+1)/(2n-1);\\ \ell=1,\ n=\tfrac12,\tfrac32,\tfrac52,\ldots, & N=2n+1,\quad K=-(2n^2-1)/n;\\ \ell=2,\ n=-\tfrac34,-\tfrac14,\tfrac14,\ldots, & N=4(n+1),\quad K=-2(n+1)(4n+1)/(2n+1);\\ n=-\tfrac12(\ell-1),\ \ell=1,2,3,\ldots, & N=\ell,\quad K=-(\ell^2-\ell-1)/\ell. \end{array}

These cases arise from matching the operator-product expansions of explicitly constructed generators with those of WN(2)W^{(2)}_N; the source presents the result as a summary of its findings, but the parser supplies no resolution evidence for whether it is established as a theorem or remains conjectural.
