The characters of irreducible representations with non-degenerate highest weights are expressed by Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. The irreduciblity conjecture of Frenkel, Kac and Wakimoto is proved completely for the "-" reduction and partially for the "+" reduction. In particular, the existence of the minimal series representations (= the modular invariant representations) of W(g) is proved.22 pages, fixed font problemsQuantum Algebra17B69, 17b56 (Primary) 81R10, 81T40 (Secondary)Quantized Reductions and Irreducible Representations of W-Algebrastext
