Gauge theories of kac-moody extensions of W∞ algebras as effective field theories of colored W∞ strings

Abstract:

A novel invariant gauge field theory realization of Kac-Moody extensions of w∞(w1+∞) algebras and based on a Lie group G is constructed. The most relevant physical feature of this theory is that it describes an effective field theory of "colored" internal w∞(w1+∞) strings when G = SU(3). We conclude with a discussion of how these theories might provide infinite higher conformal-spins extensions of Grand Unified Models and the Standard Model in four dimensions.
