Abstract

We consider the (twisted) warped Virasoro group Diff(S1S^1)\ltimes C^\infty(S1S^1) in the presence of its three cocycles. We compute the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic 2-form on coadjoint orbits. We then construct the Euclidean action of the `warped Schwarzian theory' associated to the orbit with SL(2,R\mathbb{R})×\timesU(1) stabilizer as the effective theory of the reparametrization over the base circle and evaluate the corresponding one-loop-exact path integral. We further discuss thermodynamics of the wSch theory in comparison with the complex SYK model.
