Abstract

The W-algebra minimal models on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces are constructed. Using a proposal by Polyakov, we reduce the partition function of the Toda field theory on the hyperelliptic surface to a product of partition functions: one of a “free field” theory on the sphere with inserted Toda vertex operators and one of a free scalar field theory with antiperiodic boundary conditions with inserted twist fields.
