Abstract
We propose, following the AGT correspondence, how the \( {\mathcal{W}}_{N,n}^{\mathrm{para}} \) (n-th parafermion \( {\mathcal{W}}_N \) ) minimal model characters are obtained from the U(N ) instanton counting on ℂ2/ℤn with Ω-deformation by imposing specific conditions which remove the minimal model null states.
