W-symmetry in Conformal Field Theory

arXiv:hep-th/9210010 · doi:10.1016/0370-1573(93)90111-P

Abstract

We review various aspects of $\cW$-algebra symmetry in two-dimensional conformal field theory and string theory. We pay particular attention to the construction of $\cW$-algebras through the quantum Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction and through the coset construction.
