This is a universal $W$-algebra which linearizes in the large $k$ limit and truncates to $W_{N}$ for $k=-N$. Using the theory of non-compact parafermions we construct a free field realization of the non-linear $W_{\\infty}$ in terms of two bosons with background charge. The $W$-characters of all unitary $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ representations are computed. Applications to the physics of 2-d black hole backgrounds are also discussed and connections with the KP approach to $c=1$ string theory are outlined.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1991-09-18T12:05:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coset model", "black hole backgrounds", "free field realization", "non-linear deformation", "kp approach" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1142/S0217751X92003720", "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics A", "year": 1992, "volume": 7, "pages": 55 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 318478, "adsabs": "1992IJMPA...7S..55B" } } }
