Abstract: In this note we show by implementing the associativity conditions of OPEs in terms of modes that there exist exactly two chiral algebras consisting of one Virasoro operator

T (z)

, one

m a t h f r a k s l (2, m a t h b b R)

current

J_{a} (z)

(for

a = 0, p m 1

), and a doublet

G_{s} (z)

(for

s = p m 1 / 2

) of current algebra primaries of dimension 3/2. The simplest of these is the recently uncovered chiral extension of the Poincare algebra

m a t h f r a k i s o (1, 3)

. The second is a chiral extension of the

m a t h f r a k s o (2, 3)

. The latter is a novel

c a l W

-algebra that is analogous to the famous Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra

{c a l W}_{3}^{(2)}

, and is expected to play a role in the AdS/CFT correspondence.
