Abstract:

Finite versions of W-algebras are introduced by considering (symplectic) reductions of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras. In particular a finite analogue of

W~{(2)}_3

is introduced and studied in detail. Its unitary and non-unitary, reducible and irreducible highest weight representations are constructed.

algebra: W(3)
algebra: Lie
algebra: representation
