In this letter we present a free-field realization for all generators of $\\hat{W}_{\\infty}$ in terms of two scalars as well as an elegant generating function for the $\\hat{W}_{\\infty}$ currents in the classical conformal $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ coset model. After quantization, a quantum deformation of $\\hat{W}_{\\infty}$ appears as the hidden current algebra in this model. The $\\hat{W}_{\\infty}$ current algebra results in an infinite set of commuting conserved charges, which might give rise to $W$-hair for the 2d black hole arising in the corresponding string theory at level $k=9/4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1991-12-04T20:58:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coset model", "hidden current algebra", "current algebra results", "second hamiltonian structure", "elegant generating function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
