Algebra of screening operators for the deformed \(W_n\) algebra (Q1270120)

The authors construct a family of intertwining operators (screening operators) between various Fock space modules over the deformed \(W_n\) algebra [cf. \textit{B. L. Feigin} and \textit{E. V. Frenkel}, Commun. Math. Phys. 178, 653-678 (1996; Zbl 0871.17007) (q-alg/9508009)]. They are given as integrals involving a product of screening currents and elliptic theta functions. The authors derive a set of quadratic relations among the screening operators, and use them to construct a Felder-type complex [cf. \textit{G. Felder}, BRST approach to minimal models, Nucl. Phys. B 317, 215-236 (1989)] in the case of the deformed \(W_3\) algebra.
