Coset Realization of Unifying W-Algebras

We construct several quantum coset W-algebras, e.g. sl(2,R)/U(1) and sl(2,R)+sl(2,R) / sl(2,R), and argue that they are finitely nonfreely generated. Furthermore, we discuss in detail their role as unifying W-algebras of Casimir W-algebras. We show that it is possible to give coset realizations of various types of unifying W-algebras, e.g. the diagonal cosets based on the symplectic Lie algebras sp(2n) realize the unifying W-algebras which have previously been introduced as `WD_{-n}'. In addition, minimal models of WD_{-n} are studied. The coset realizations provide a generalization of level-rank-duality of dual coset pairs. As further examples of finitely nonfreely generated quantum W-algebras we discuss orbifolding of W-algebras which on the quantum level has different properties than in the classical case. We demonstrate in some examples that the classical limit according to Bowcock and Watts of these nonfreely finitely generated quantum W-algebras probably yields infinitely nonfreely generated classical W-algebras.Comment: 60 pages (plain TeX) (final version to appear in Int.

New N=1 Extended Superconformal Algebras with Two and Three Generators

In this paper we consider extensions of the super Virasoro algebra by one and two super primary fields. Using a non-explicitly covariant approach we compute all SW-algebras with one generator of dimension up to 7 in addition to the super Virasoro field. In complete analogy to W-algebras with two generators most results can be classified using the representation theory of the super Virasoro algebra. Furthermore, we find that the SW(3/2, 11/2)-algebra can be realized as a subalgebra of SW(3/2, 5/2) at c = 10/7. We also construct some new SW-algebras with three generators, namely SW(3/2, 3/2, 5/2), SW(3/2, 2, 2) and SW(3/2, 2, 5/2).Comment: 30 pages (Plain TeX), BONN-HE-92-0

How complete is the classification of W-symmetries?

In 2D conformal quantum field theory, we continue a systematic study of W-algebras with two and three generators and their highest weight representations focussing mainly of rational models. We review the known facts about rational models of W(2,#sigma#)-algebras, in particular those models that are not related to some generically existing algebra. However, our new rational models of W-algebras with two generators all belong to one of the known series. The majority of W-algebras with three generators-including the new ones constructed in this letter- can be explained as subalgebras of Casimir algebras. Nonetheless, for one solution of W(2,4,6) we reveal some features that do not fit into the pattern of Casimir algebras or orbifolds thereof. This shows that even a classification of all Casimir algebras (or Toda field theories) will probably fail to classify all rational conformal field theories.

Material control system design: Test Bed Nitrate Storage Area (TBNSA)

This report provides an example of a hypothetical Special Nuclear Material (SNM) Safeguard Material Control and Accounting (MC and A) System which will be used as a subject for the demonstration of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory MC and A System Evaluation Methodology in January 1978. This methodology is to become a tool in the NRC evaluation of license applicant submittals for Nuclear Fuel Cycle facilities. The starting point for this test bed design was the Allied-General Nuclear Services--Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant Reprocessing plant as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), of August 1975. The test bed design effort was limited to providing an SNM safeguard system for the plutonium nitrate storage area of this facility. (DLC
