Screening operators for W-algebras

Abstract: Let

m a t h f r a k g

be a simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra with a non-degenerate supersymmetric even invariant bilinear form,

f

a nilpotent element in the even part of

m a t h f r a k g

,

G a m m a

a good grading of

m a t h f r a k g

for

f

and

m a t h c a l W^{k} (m a t h f r a k g, f; G a m m a)

the

m a t h c a l W

-algebra associated with

m a t h f r a k g, f, k, G a m m a

defined by the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction. In this paper, we present each

m a t h c a l W

-algebra as the intersection of kernels of the screening operators, acting on the tensor vertex superalgebra of an affine vertex superalgebra and a neutral free superfermion vertex superalgebra. As applications, we prove that the

m a t h c a l W

-algebra associated with a regular nilpotent element in

m a t h f r a k o s p (1, 2 n)

is isomorphic to the

m a t h c a l W B_{n}

-algebra introduced by Fateev and Lukyanov, and that the

m a t h c a l W

-algebra associated with a subregular nilpotent element in

m a t h f r a k {s l}_{n}

is isomorphic to the

m a t h c a l W_{n}^{(2)}

-algebra introduced by Feigin and Semikhatov.
