Kac-Moody structure of chiral gravity in the light-cone gauge

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We study the residual symmetry SL(2,R)U(1)SL(2,R)\otimes U(1) of the chiral gravity in the light-cone gauge. Quantum gravitational effects renormalize the Kac-Moody central charge and introduce, through the Lorentz anomaly, an arbitrary parameter. Due to the presence of this free parameter the Kac-Moody central charge has no forbidden range of values, and the strong gravity regime is open to investigations.
