Abstract

We introduce a Weyl group for the highest weight modules over the Virasoro algebra and the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond superalgebras. Using this group we rewrite the character formulae for the irreducible highest weight modules over these algebras in the form of the classical Weyl character formula for the finite-dimensional irreducible representations of semi-simple Lie algebras (and also of the Weyl-Kac character formula for the integrable highest weight modules over affine Kac-Moody algebras). This is the same group we introduced recently in order to rewrite in a similar manner the characters of the singular highest weight modules over the affine Kac-Moody algebraA 1 (1) .
