Aspects of W∞ symmetry
Description
We review the structure of W∞ algebras, their super and topological extensions, and their contractions down to (super) w∞. Emphasis is put on the field theoretic realizations of these algebras. We also review the structure of w∞ and W∞ gravities and comment on various applications of W∞ symmetry. (author). 42 refs
