Modular linear differential equations of fourth order and minimal mathcal{W}-algebras

A characterization of the minimal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras associated with the Deligne exceptional series at level $-h^\vee/6$ is obtained by using one-parameter family of modular linear differential equations of order $4$. In particular, the characters of the Ramond-twisted modules of minimal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras related to the Deligne exceptional series satisfy one of these differential equations. In order to obtain the characterization, the differential equations in the one parameter family which have solutions of "CFT type" are classified, whose solutions are explicitly described.
