A note on decoupling conditions for generic level hat{sl}(3)_k and fusion rules

We find the solution of the $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ singular vector decoupling equations on 3-point functions for the particular case when one of the fields is of weight $w_0\cdot k\Lambda_0$. The result is a function with non-trivial singularities in the flag variables, namely a linear combination of 2F1 hypergeometric functions. This calculation fills in a gap in [1] and confirms the $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ fusion rules determined there both for generic $\kappa \not \in \IQ$ and fractional levels. We have also analysed the fusion in $\hat{sl}(3)_k$ using algebraic methods generalising those of Feigin and Fuchs and again find agreement with [1]. In the process we clarify some details of previous treatments of the fusion of $\hat{sl}(2)_k$ fractional level admissible representations.
