Abstract: The vertex algebra W_{1+infty,c} with central charge c may be defined as a module over the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle. For an integer ngeq 1, it was conjectured in the physics literature that W_{1+infty,-n} should have a minimal strong generating set consisting of n^2+2n elements. Using a free field realization of W_{1+infty,-n} due to Kac-Radul, together with a deformed version of Weyl's first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory for the standard representation of GL_n, we prove this conjecture. A consequence is that the irreducible, highest-weight representations of W_{1+infty,-n} are parametrized by a closed subvariety of C^{n^2+2n}.
