We present a procedure for constructing actions describing propagation of W-strings on group manifolds by using the Hamiltonian canonical formalism and representations of W-algebras in terms of Kac-Moody currents. An explicit construction is given in the case of the W 3 string.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
