New ${\cal W}_{q,p}(sl(2))$ algebras from the elliptic algebra ${\cal A}_{q,p}({\hat sl}(2)_c)$

Abstract

We construct operators t(z) in the elliptic algebra introduced by Foda et al. ${\cal A}_{q,p}({\hat sl}(2)_c)$. They close an exchange algebra when p^m=q^{c+2} for m integer. In addition they commute when p=q^{2k} for k integer non-zero, and they belong to the center of ${\cal A}_{q,p}({\hat sl}(2)_c)$ when k is odd. The Poisson structures obtained for t(z) in these classical limits are identical to the q-deformed Virasoro Poisson algebra, characterizing the exchange algebras at generic values of p, q and m as new ${\cal W}_{q,p}(sl(2))$ algebras.
