STRING FIELD ACTIONS FROM W

Abstract
Starting from W as a fundamental symmetry and using the coadjoint orbit method, we derive an action for one-dimensional strings. It is shown that on the simplest non-trivial orbit this gives the single scalar collective field theory. On higher orbits one finds generalized KdV type field theories with increasing number of components.
