چکیده
It is proved that the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to the irreducible highest weight module for the affine Kac-Moody algebra A (1) 1 of level k coincides with a certain W -algebra. In particular, a set of generators for the parafermion vertex operator algebra is determined.

The structure of parafermion vertex operator algebras: general case
The structure of the parafermion vertex operator algebra associated to an integrable highest weight module for any affine Kac-Moody algebra is studied. In particular, a set of generators for this algebra has been determined.
متن کاملGeneralized vertex algebras generated by parafermion-like vertex operators
It is proved that for a vector space W , any set of parafermion-like vertex operators on W in a certain canonical way generates a generalized vertex algebra in the sense of [DL2] with W as a natural module. This result generalizes a result of [Li2]. As an application, generalized vertex algebras are constructed from Lepowsky-Wilson’s Z-algebras of any nonzero level.
متن کاملW - Algebras Related to Parafermion Algebras
We study a W -algebra of central charge 2(k − 1)/(k + 2), k = 2, 3, . . . contained in the commutant of a Heisenberg algebra in a simple affine vertex operator algebra L(k, 0) of type A (1) 1 with level k. We calculate the operator product expansions of the W -algebra. We also calculate some singular vectors in the case k ≤ 6 and determine the irreducible modules and Zhu’s algebra. Furthermore,...
متن کاملStress-Tensor for parafermions from the generalized Frenkel-Kac construction of affine algebras
I discuss a realization of stress-tensor for parafermion theories following the generalized Frenkel-Kac construction for higher level Kac-Moody algebras. All the fields are obtained from d=rank free bosons compactified on torus. This gives an alternative realization of Virasoro algebra in terms of a non-local correction of a free field construction which does not fit the usual background charge...
