Wn gravities in the light-cone gauge
Description
A formulation of Wn gravities in the light-cone gauge is presented. A set of Ward identities in the case of W3 gravity is written down explicitly and it is indicated that it can be solved yielding correlation functions of the W-gravitons. The appearance of the SL(3, R) current algebra is shown on the example of W3. The renormalized central charge of the analogous SL(n, R) for the general case is calculated. The latter result is confirmed perturbatively in the limit c→∞. (orig.)
