In our paper [KR] we began a systematic study of representations of the universal central extension of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle. This study was continued in the paper [FKRW] in the framework of vertex algebra theory. It was shown that the associated to simple vertex algebra W 1+∞, N with positive integral central charge N is isomorphic to the classical vertex algebra W (gl N), which led to a classification of modules over W 1+∞, N. In the present paper we study the remaing nontrivial case, that of a negative central charge-N. The basic tool is the decomposition of N pairs of free charged bosons with respect to gl N and the commuting with gl N Lie algebra of infinite matrices ĝl.
