Gorelik and V.G. Kac. An immediate consequence of this work is the simplicity conditions for the corresponding minimal W-algebras obtained via quantum reduction, in all cases except when the level $k$ is a non-negative integer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-06-16T15:16:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "affine lie superalgebra", "vacuum module", "explicit condition", "immediate consequence", "simplicity conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.2605H" } } }
