dc.descriptionWe study the BKP hierarchy and its $n$--reduction, for the case that $n$ is odd. This is related to the principal realization of the basic module of the twisted affine Lie algebra $\hat{sl}_n^{(2)}$. We show that the following two statements for a BKP $τ$ function are equivalent: (1) $τ$ is is $n$--reduced and satisfies the string equation, i.e. $L_{-1}τ=0$, where $L_{-1}$ is an element of some `natural' Virasoro algebra. (2) $τ$ satisfies the vacuum constraints of the $BW_{1+\infty}$ algebra. Here $BW_{1+\infty}$ is the natural analog of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra, which plays a role in the KP case.
