Abstract: W-algebras are constructed via quantum Hamiltonian reduction associated with a Lie algebra $mathfrakg$ and an $mathfraksl(2)$-embedding into $mathfrakg$. We derive correspondences among correlation functions of theories having different W-algebras as symmetry algebras. These W-algebras are associated to the same $mathfrakg$ but distinct $mathfraksl(2)$-embeddings. For this purpose, we first explore different free field realizations of W-algebras and then generalize previous works on the path integral derivation of correspondences of correlation functions. For $mathfrakg=mathfraksl(3)$, there is only one non-standard (non-regular) W-algebra known as the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra. We examine its free field realizations and derive correlator correspondences involving the WZNW theory of $mathfraksl(3)$, the Bershadsky-Polyakov algebra and the principal $W_3$-algebra. There are three non-regular W-algebras associated to $mathfrakg=mathfraksl(4)$. We show that the methods developed for $mathfrakg=mathfraksl(3)$ can be applied straightforwardly. We briefly comment on extensions of our techniques to general $mathfrakg$.
