Virasoro Algebra and O(N) Sigma Model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

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 order, for a general functional.
