Hamiltonian construction of W-gravity actions

Abstract

We show that all W-gravity actions can be easilly constructed and understood from the point of view of the Hamiltonian formalism for the constrained systems. This formalism also gives a method of constructing gauge invariant actions for arbitrary conformally extended algebras.
