摘要：
We study the structure and representations of a family of vertex algebras obtained from affine superalgebras by quantum reduction. As an application, we obtain in a unified way free field realizations and determinant formulas for all superconformal algebras. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
