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

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let Wn,ℓ\mathfrak{W}_{n,\ell} be an extended algebra constructed from gl^(1∣1)\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,ℓ\mathfrak{W}_{n,\ell} has a subalgebra isomorphic to WN(2)W^{(2)}_N of level KK in each of the following cases:

ℓ=1, n=0,1,2,…,N=2n+1,K=−2(n−1)(2n+1)/(2n−1);ℓ=1, n=12,32,52,…,N=2n+1,K=−(2n2−1)/n;ℓ=2, n=−34,−14,14,…,N=4(n+1),K=−2(n+1)(4n+1)/(2n+1);n=−12(ℓ−1), ℓ=1,2,3,…,N=ℓ,K=−(ℓ2−ℓ−1)/ℓ.\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.
