Description
The WN algebras are extensions of the Virasoro algebra in which conformal fields of all spins 2,3,..., N occur. In this paper we investigate the form of the algebra obtained in the limit N→∞. Utilizing an approach involving the direct imposition of Jacobi identities, we display complete and explicit expressions for all structure constants, including central extensions. (orig.)
