The Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism with the Virasoro symmetry

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We introduce the Virasoro symmetry in the BV formalism and give an explicit construction of the anti-bracket, which is Virasoro invariant. It is shown that the master equation with this anti-bracket has an infinite number of solutions. The base space of the BV formalism is a fermionic version of the Virasoro manifold Diff(S1)/S1Diff(S^1)/S^1. We discuss also the Ricci tensor of this fermionic manifold.
