Description
We show that the m=12 superconformal theory (c=10/7) with the (E6, D8) modular invariant exhibits a bigger symmetry algebra. It is argued that this is a super W3-algebra, and that this latter can be realized (after a projection) from the coset su(3)1 x su(3)3/su(3)4. We also argue that one has some chance to realize general super W-algebras from cosets gkxgl/gk+1 with l=hc, the dual Coxeter number of the (simply laced) Lie algebra g. (orig.)
