We consider a homotopic evolution in the space of smooth shapes starting from the unit circle. Based on the Loewner-Kufarev equation we give a Hamiltonian formulation of this evolution and provide conservation laws. The symmetries of the…
One of the important aspects in recent trends in complex analysis has been the increasing degree of cross-fertilization between the latter and mathematical physics with great benefits to both subjects. Contour dynamics in the complex plane…
The conformal anomaly and the Virasoro algebra are fundamental aspects of 2D conformal field theory and conformally covariant models in planar random geometry. In this article, we explicitly derive the Virasoro algebra from an…
In this paper we generalize some of these results for loop algebras and groups as well as for the Virasoro algebra to the two-dimensional case. We define and study a class of infinite dimensional complex Lie groups which are central…
In this work, we construct a representation of the Virasoro algebra in the canonical Hilbert space associated to Liouville conformal field theory. The study of the Virasoro operators is performed through the introduction of a new family of…

A new approach to analyze the properties of the energy-momentum tensor $T(z)$ of conformal field theories on generic Riemann surfaces (RS) is proposed. $T(z)$ is decomposed into $N$ components with different monodromy properties, where $N$…
Using the holographic machinery built up in a previous work, we show that the hidden SL(2,R) symmetry of a scalar quantum field propagating in a Rindler spacetime admits an enlargement in terms of a unitary positive-energy representation of…
It has previously been proven that $T\bar T$ - deformed CFTs possess Virasoro $\times$ Virasoro symmetry at the full quantum level, whose generators are obtained by simply transporting the original CFT generators along the $T\bar T$ flow.…
While $L_\infty$ algebras are fundamental structures in differential geometry and mathematical physics, the geometric information encoded in such structures is often implicit. We address the following question: What constitutes a…
Chiral edges of 2+1D systems can have very robust emergent conformal symmetry. When the edge is purely chiral, the Hilbert space of low-energy edge excitations can form a representation of a single Virasoro algebra. We propose a method to…
We investigate the structure of representations of the (positive half of the) Virasoro algebra and situations in which they decompose as a tensor product of Lie algebra representations. As an illustration, we apply these results to the…
Whenever the group $\R^n$ acts on an algebra $\calA$, there is a method to twist $\cal A$ to a new algebra $\calA_\theta$ which depends on an antisymmetric matrix $\theta$ ($\theta^{\mu \nu}=-\theta^{\nu \mu}=\mathrm{constant}$). The…
We study the degeneration relations on the varieties of associative and Lie algebra structures on a fixed finite dimensional vector space and give a description of them in terms of Gerstenhaber formal deformations. We use this result to…
Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$, and $V$ a generating space of sections of $E$. We characterise Mumford linear stability of the associated projective model of $\mathbb{P} E^\vee$ in $\mathbb{P} V^\vee$ in terms of…
Consider an extension of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $0 \to \mathfrak{h} \to \tilde{\mathfrak{g}} \to \mathfrak{g} \to 0$ (over a field $k$ of characteristic zero) corresponding to an extension of unipotent algebraic groups $1…
In two earlier articles we constructed algebraic-geometric families of genus one (i.e. elliptic) Lie algebras of Krichever-Novikov type. The considered algebras are vector fields, current and affine Lie algebras. These families deform the…
We investigate the quantum aspects of three-dimensional gravity with a positive cosmological constant. The reduced phase space of the three-dimensional de Sitter gravity is obtained as the space which consists of the Kerr-de Sitter…
We obtain the orbifold Virasoro master equation (OVME) at integer order lambda, which summarizes the general Virasoro construction on orbifold affine algebra. The OVME includes the Virasoro master equation when lambda=1 and contains large…
