Abstract: We study representations of the central extension of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle, the W-infinity algebra. We obtain complete and specialized character formulas for a large class of representations, which we call primitive; these include all quasi-finite irreducible unitary representations. We show that any primitive representation with central charge N has a canonical structure of an irreducible representation of the W-algebra W(gl_N) with the same central charge and that all irreducible representations of W(gl_N) with central charge N arise in this way. We also establish a duality between "integral" modules of W(gl_N) and finite-dimensional irreducible modules of gl_N, and conjecture their fusion rules.
The authors study representations of the unique nontrivial central extension \(\widehat {\mathcal D}\) of the algebra of differential operators on the circle. This algebra is sometimes also referred to as \({\mathcal W}_{1 + \infty}\) algebra. In [\textit{V. Kac}, and \textit{A. Radul}, Commun. Math. Phys. 157, No. 3, 429-457 (1993; Zbl 0826.17027)] quasifinite highest weight representations (i.e. representations for which the homogeneous parts are finite-dimensional) were classified. In this article character formulas for primitive representations of \(\widehat {\mathcal D}\) are obtained. A primitive representation is an ``analytic continuation of a quasifinite irreducible unitary representation. It is shown that any primitive representation with central charge \(N\) has a canonical structure of an irreducible representation of the \({\mathcal W}\)-algebras (vertex operator algebra) \({\mathcal W} (gl_N)\) with the same central charge and that all irreducible representations of \({\mathcal W} (gl_N)\) arise in this way. A duality between ``integral representations and irreducible representations of \(GL_N (\mathbb{C})\) is given. The authors conjecture that the fusion algebra of integral representations of \({\mathcal W} (gl_N)\) is isomorphic to the representation algebra of \(GL_N (\mathbb{C})\). Vertex operator algebra methods are widely used in the article.
