Some Realization of gl q (n)-covariant Oscillator Algebra and gl q (n)-covariant q-Virasoro Algebra with q a root of unity. Abstract In this paper some realization of gl q (n)-covariant oscillators is obtained when q is a root of unity. And the gl q (n)-covariant q-Virasoro algebra is presented by using the gl q (n)-covariant oscillators.

We present an explicit relation between representations of the Virasoro algebra and polynomial martingales in stochastic Loewner evolutions (SLE). We show that the Virasoro algebra is the spectrum generating algebra of SLE martingales. This is based on a new representation of the Virasoro algebra, inspired by the Borel-Weil construction, acting on functions depending on coordinates parametrizin...

We argue that the Virasoro algebra for the closed bosonic string can be cast in a form which is suitable for the limit of vanishing string tension. In this form the limit of the Virasoro algebra gives the null string algebra. The anomalous central extension is seen to vanish as well when T → 0.

The quantum super-algebra structure on the deformed super Virasoro algebra is investigated. More specifically we established the possibility of defining a non trivial Hopf super-algebra on both one and two-parameters deformed super Virasoro algebras. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Recently the operator algebra, including the twisted affine primary fields, and a set of twisted KZ equations were given for the WZW permutation orbifolds. In the first part of this paper we extend this operator algebra to include the so-called orbifold Virasoro algebra of each WZW permutation orbifold. These algebras generalize the orbifold Virasoro algebras (twisted Virasoro operators) found ...

A notion of generalized highest weight modules over the high rank Virasoro algebras is introduced in this paper, and a theorem, which was originally given as a conjecture by Kac over the Virasoro algebra, is generalized. Mainly, we prove that a simple Harish-Chandra module over a high rank Virasoro algebra is either a generalized highest weight module, or a module of the intermediate series.

Classical two-dimensional Liouville gravity is often considered in conformal gauge which has a residual left and right Virasoro symmetry algebra. We consider an alternate, chiral, gauge which has a residual right Virasoro Kac-Moody algebra, and no left Virasoro algebra. The Kac-Moody zero mode is the left-moving energy. Dirac brackets of the constrained Hamiltonian theory are derived, and the r...

We review some of the recent developments in the construction of W-string theories. These are generalisations of ordinary strings in which the two-dimensional " worldsheet " theory, instead of being a gauging of the Virasoro algebra, is a gauging of a higher-spin extension of the Virasoro algebra—a W algebra. Despite the complexity of the (non-linear) W algebras, it turns out that the spectrum ...

We discuss the quantization of a scalar field in three-dimensional asymptotic de Sitter space. We obtain explicit expressions for the Noether currents generating the isometry group in terms of the modes of the scalar field and the Liouville gravitational field. We extend the SL(2, C) algebra of the Noether charges to a full Virasoro algebra by introducing non-local conserved charges. The Viraso...
