Title:
On the Extended W-Algebra of Type SL_2 At Positive Rational Level
Speaker:
Abstract:
The extended W-algebra of type sl_2 at positive rational level is a vertex operator algebra that is of great interest in logarithmic conformal field theory. In this talk I will give an overview of how it is constructed as a subvertex operator algebra of a lattice vertex operator algebra by means of so called screening operators and Jack symmetric polynomials. I will also sketch how the screening operator formalism allows one to prove c_2 cofiniteness, compute relations in Zhu’s algebra and classify all simple modules of the extended W-algebra of type sl_2 at positive rational level.
