Modularity of Bershadsky-Polyakov minimal models

Abstract

The Bershadsky-Polyakov algebras are the original examples of nonregular W-algebras, obtained from the affine vertex operator algebras associated with ${\mathfrak{sl}}_3$ by quantum hamiltonian reduction. In [arXiv:2007.03917], we explored the representation theories of the simple quotients of these algebras when the level $\mathsf{k}$ is nondegenerate-admissible. Here, we combine these explorations with Adamović's inverse quantum hamiltonian reduction functors to study the modular properties of Bershadsky-Polyakov characters and deduce the associated Grothendieck fusion rules. The results are not dissimilar to those already known for the affine vertex operator algebras associated with ${\mathfrak{sl}}_2$, except that the role of the Virasoro minimal models in the latter is here played by the minimal models of Zamolodchikov's ${\mathsf{W}}_3$ algebras.
