Continuous Virasoro algebra in open string field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-10-11 v2

Abstract

It is known that the Takahashi--Tanimoto identity-based solution in open string field theory derives a kinetic operator which is a sum of twisted Virasoro generators. Applying the infinite circumstance description of conformal field theory, we derive continuous Virasoro algebra associated with the kinetic operator. Mode expansions of Virasoro generators and the modified BRST charge are given.
