Abstract: (Elsevier)
It is shown that th representation space of the OSp( N ,2) current algebra reduces to that of the N -extended superconformal algebra by imposing constraints on currents. In the classical limit, this results gives the relation between the Wess-Zumino-Witten model for the OSp( N ,2) group and the geometric action for the superconformal algebra.
