Abstract: The fermionic coset is a limit of the pure spinor formulation of the AdS5xS5 sigma model as well as a limit of a nonlinear topological A-model, introduced by Berkovits. We study the latter, especially its symmetries, and map them to higher spin algebras. We show the following. The linear A-model possesses affine $AKMSApgl44_0$ symmetry at critical level and its $AKMSApsl44_0$ current-current perturbation is the nonlinear model. We find that the perturbation preserves $mathcal{W}_4^{(2)}$-algebra symmetry at critical level. There is a topological algebra associated to $AKMSApgl44_0$ with the properties that the perturbation is BRST-exact. Further, the BRST-cohomology contains world-sheet supersymmetric symplectic fermions and the non-trivial generators of the $mathcal{W}_4^{(2)}$-algebra. The Zhu functor maps the linear model to a higher spin theory. We analyze its $SLSApsl44$ action and find finite dimensional short multiplets.
