Abstract: We prove Feigin-Frenkel type dualities between subregular W-algebras of type A, B and principal W-superalgebras of type mathfraksl(1|n),mathfrakosp(2|2n). The type A case proves a conjecture of Feigin and Semikhatov. Let (mathfrakg1,mathfrakg2)=(mathfraksln+1,mathfraksl(1|n+1)) or (mathfrakso2n+1,mathfrakosp(2|2n)) and let r be the lacity of mathfrakg1. Let k be a complex number and ell defined by r(k+hvee1)(ell+hvee2)=1 with hveei the dual Coxeter numbers of the mathfrakgi. Our first main result is that the Heisenberg cosets mathcalCk(mathfrakg1) and mathcalCell(mathfrakg2) of these W-algebras at these dual levels are isomorphic, i.e. mathcalCk(mathfrakg1)simeqmathcalCell(mathfrakg2) for generic k. We determine the generic levels and furthermore establish analogous results for the cosets of the simple quotients of the W-algebras. Our second result is a novel Kazama-Suzuki type coset construction: We show that a diagonal Heisenberg coset of the subregular W-algebra at level k times the lattice vertex superalgebra VmathbbZ is the principal W-superalgebra at the dual level ell. Conversely a diagonal Heisenberg coset of the principal W-superalgebra at level ell times the lattice vertex superalgebra Vsqrt1mathbbZ is the subregular W-algebra at the dual level k. Again this is proven for the universal W-algebras as well as for the simple quotients. We show that a consequence of the Kazama-Suzuki type construction is that the simple principal W-superalgebra and its Heisenberg coset at level ell are rational and/or C_2-cofinite if the same is true for the simple subregular W-algebra at dual level ell. This gives many new C_2-cofiniteness and rationality results.
