THE COMPLETE STRUCTURE OF W-INFINITY Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The WN algebras are extensions of the Virasoro algebra in which conformal fields of all spins 2, 3, ..., N occur. In this paper we investigate the form of the algebra obtained in the limit N. Utilizing an approach involving the direct imposition of Jacobi identities, we display complete and explicit expressions for all structure constants, including central extensions. 1990.
