Classical $N = 1$ and $N = 2$ super W-algebras from a zero-curvature condition

arXiv:hep-th/9304040 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X94000182

Abstract

Starting from superdifferential operators in an $N = 1$ superfield formulation, we present a systematic prescription for the derivation of classical $N = 1$ and $N = 2$ super W-algebras by imposing a zero-curvature condition on the connection of the corresponding first order system. We illustrate the procedure on the first non-trivial example (beyond the $N = 1$ superconformal algebra) and also comment on the relation with the Gelfand-Dickey construction of $W$ -algebras.
