Abstract
We study the embeddings of the simple admissible affine vertex algebras \({V_k(sl(2))}\) and \({V_k({osp}(1,2))}\), \({k \notin {\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}}\), into the tensor product of rational Virasoro and N = 1 Neveu–Schwarz vertex algebra with lattice vertex algebras. By using these realizations we construct a family of weight, logarithmic, and Whittaker \({\widehat{sl(2)}}\) and \({\widehat{osp(1,2)}}\)-modules. As an application, we construct all irreducible degenerate Whittaker modules for \({V_k(sl(2))}\).
