Bratchikov %J Mathematics %D 1998 %I arXiv %X Conformal field theories based on $g/u(1)^d$ coset constructions where $g$ is a reductive algebra are studied.It is shown that the theories are equivalent to constrained WZNW models for $g.$ Generators of extended symmetry algebras and primary fields are constructed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9811040v2
