Rationality of Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebras

Abstract

We prove the conjecture of Kac-Wakimoto on the rationality of exceptional W-algebras for the first non-trivial series, namely, for the Bershadsky-Polyakov vertex algebras $W_3^{(2)}$ at level $k=p/2-3$ with $p=3,5,7,...$. This gives new examples of rational conformal field theories.
