We present a fractional superspace formulation of the centerless parasuper-Viraso-ro and fractional super-Virasoro algebras. These are two different generalizations of the ordinary super-Virasoro algebra generated by the infinitesimal…
We formalize in Lean certain calculational proofs about infinite-dimensional Lie algebras. Specifically, we construct the Virasoro algebra as a central extension of the Witt algebra associated with a nontrivial 2-cocycle, and we construct…
The fractional supersymmetry chiral algebras in two-dimensional conformal field theory are extended Virasoro algebras with fractional spin currents. We show that associativity and closure of these algebras determines their structure…
The Virasoro Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the Witt algebra, which can be realized as the Lie algebra of derivations on the algebra $\cc [t^{\pm}]$ of Laurent polynomials. Using this fact, we define a natural family…
We study a class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras called generalized Witt algebras (in one variable). These include the classical Witt algebra and the centerless Virasoro algebra as important examples. We show that any such generalized…
Let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_i^{\pm1},~1\leq i\leq n]$ be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in $n$-variables. Let $\mu=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_n)$ be a generic vector in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\Gamma_{\mu}=\{\mu\cdot\alpha,\alpha\in \mathbb{Z}^n\}$ where…
The affine current algebra for Lie superalgebras is examined. The bilinear invariant forms of the Lie superalgebra can be either degenerate or non-degenerate. We give the conditions for a Virasoro construction, in which the currents are…
We classify non-trivial (non-central) extensions of the group $Diff^+(S^1)$ of all diffeomorphisms of the circle preserving its orientation and of the Lie algebra $Vect (S^1)$ of vector fields on $S^1$, by the modules of tensor-densities on…
In the paper there are investigated various approximate representations of the infinite dimensional $\Bbb Z$--graded Lie algebras: the Witt algebra of all Laurent polynomial vector fields on a circle and its one-dimensional nontrivial…
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…
Generalized Virasoro algebras (defined as the universal central extension of some generalized Witt algebras) and super-Virasoro algebras and modules of the intermediate series are studied and discussed.
We study homeomorphisms of the circle that are smooth diffeomorphisms away from a finite set of $n$ points. These "broken diffeomorphisms" do not form a Lie group, but instead naturally assemble into a Lie groupoid. We construct an explicit…
Virasoro constraint is the operator algebra version of one-loop equation for a Hermitian one-matrix model, and it plays an important role in solving the model. We construct the realization of the Virasoro constraint from the Conformal Field…
Within the framework of a local expansion of the logarithm of the O(N) sigma-model vacuum functional, valid for slowly varying fields, the modified Virasoro algebra is studied. The operator-like central charge term is given, up to second…
Lie conformal algebras $\mathcal{W}(a,b)$ are the semi-direct sums of Virasoro Lie conformal algebra and its nontrivial conformal modules of rank one. In this paper, we give a complete classification of extensions of finite irreducible…
We investigate possibility of central extension for non-relativistic conformal algebras in 1+1 dimension. Three different forms of charges can be suggested. A trivial charge for temporal part of the algebra exists for all elements of…
We construct the K=8 fractional superconformal algebras. There are two such extended Virasoro algebras, one of which was constructed earlier, involving a fractional spin (equivalently, conformal dimension) 6/5 current. The new algebra…
The goal of this paper is to study the representation theory of a classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebra - the Lie algebra of vector fields on an N-dimensional torus for N > 1. The case N=1 gives a famous Virasoro algebra (or its…
Let $A_n=\mathbb{C}[t_i^{\pm1},~1\leq i\leq n]$ and $\mathbf{W}(n)_\mu=A_nd_\mu$ the solenoidal Lie algebra introduced by Y.Billig and V.Futorny in \cite{BiFu2}, where $\mu=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_n)\in\mathbb{C}^n$ is a generic vector and…
For any finite dimensional Lie superalgebra $\dot{\mathfrak{g}}$ (maybe a Lie algebra) with an even derivation $d$ and a finite order automorphism $\sigma$ that commutes with $d$, we introduce the $(d,\sigma)$-twisted Affine-Virasoro…
