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.Comment: 50 pages, 8 figures; v2: examples added, determinant formula derivation modified, section order change

q,k-generalized gamma and beta functions

We introduce the q,k-generalized Pochhammer symbol. We construct $\Gamma_{q,k}$ and $B_{q,k}$, the q,k-generalized gamma and beta fuctions, and show that they satisfy properties that generalize those satisfied by the classical gamma and beta functions. Moreover, we provide integral representations for $\Gamma_{q,k}$ and $B_{q,k}.$Comment: 17 page

Integrable highest weight modules over affine superalgebras and Appell's function

We classify integrable irreducible highest weight representations of non-twisted affine Lie superalgebras. We give a free field construction in the level~1 case. The analysis of this construction shows, in particular, that in the simplest case of the $s\ell (2|1)$ level~1 affine superalgebra the characters are expressed in terms of the Appell elliptic function. Our results demonstrate that the representation theory of affine Lie superalgebras is quite different from that of affine Lie algebras.Comment: 54 page
