Abstract

We perform an Hamiltonian reduction on a classical \cw(\cg, \ch) algebra, and prove that we get another \cw(\cg, \ch') algebra, with chch\ch\subset\ch'. In the case \cg=S(n)\cg=S\ell(n), the existence of a suitable gauge, called Generalized Horizontal Gauge, allows to relate in this way two \cw-algebras as soon as their corresponding \ch-algebras are related by inclusion.
