Defining Relations for Minimal Unitary Quantum Affine W-Algebras

Abstract

AbstractWe prove that any unitary highest weight module over a universal minimal quantum affine W-algebra at non-critical level descends to its simple quotient. We find the defining relations of the unitary simple minimal quantum affine W-algebras and the list of all their irreducible positive energy modules. We also classify all irreducible highest weight modules for the simple affine vertex algebras in the cases when the associated simple minimal W-algebra is unitary.
