Abstract
We study the representation theory of the mathcalWalgebra mathcalW kbarmathfrakg associated with a simple Lie algebra barmathfrakg at level k We show that the “” reduction functor is exact and sends an irreducible module to zero or an irreducible module at any level k∈ℂ Moreover we show that the character of each irreducible highest weight representation of mathcalW kbarmathfrakg is completely determined by that of the corresponding irreducible highest weight representation of affine Lie algebra mathfrakg of barmathfrakg As a consequence we complete for the “” reduction the proof of the conjecture of E Frenkel V Kac and M Wakimoto on the existence and the construction of the modular invariant representations of mathcalWalgebras
