On the Virasoro algebra on a loop space background

Об алгебре Вирасоро на фоне пространства петель

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

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.
