ON SIBLING AND EXCEPTIONAL W-STRINGS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We discuss the physical spectrum for W-strings based on the algebra Bn, Dn, E6, E7 and E8. For a simply laced W-string, we find a connection with the (h, h + 1) unitary Virasoro minimal model, where h is the dual Coxeter number of the underlying Lie algebra. For the W-string based on Bn, we find a connection with the (2h, 2h + 2) unitary N = 1 super-Virasoro minimal model. 1992.
