Summary
We discuss the closure of the Virasoro algebra when the background metric is defined in loop space. We find a class of functionals for which the Virasoro algebra is preserved.
Riassunto
Si discute la chiusura dell’algebra di Virasoro quando la metrica del sottofondo è definita nello spazio di loop. Si trova una classe di funzionali per cui si conserva l’algebra di Virasoro.
Резюме
Мы обсуждаем замыкание алгебры Вирасоро, когда метрика фона определяется в пространстве петель. Мы находим класс функционалов, для которого сохроняется алгебра Вирасоро.
