Abstract: (Affine) mathcalW-algebras are a family of vertex algebras defined by the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov reductions associated with a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra mathfrakg over mathbbC, a nilpotent element f in [mathfrakg,mathfrakg], a good grading Gamma and a symmetric invariant bilinear form kappa on mathfrakg. We introduce free field realizations of mathcalW-algebras by using Wakimoto representations of affine Lie algebras, where mathcalW-algebras are described as the intersections of kernels of screening operators. We call these Wakimoto free fields realizations of mathcalW-algebras. As applications, under certain conditions that are valid in all cases of type A, we construct parabolic inductions for mathcalW-algebras, which we expect to induce the parabolic inductions of finite mathcalW-algebras defined by Premet and Losev. In type A, we show that our parabolic inductions are a chiralization of the coproducts for finite mathcalW-algebras defined by Brundan-Kleshchev. In type BCD, we are able to obtain some generalizations of the coproducts in some special cases. This paper also contains an appendix by Shigenori Nakatsuka on the compatibility of screening operators with Miura maps.
