Construction of local one-parameter subgroups generated by the Virasoro operators via Feynman path integrals (Q1911522)

The Virasoro algebra is the one-dimensional central extension of the Lie algebra of smooth vector fields \(f(\theta) (d/d\theta)\) on the unit circle, where \(f\) is a \(\mathbb{C}\)-valued trigonometric polynomial. The Virasoro algebra acts on the representations of an infinite-dimensional Heisenberg algebra, called the Fock models. The main purpose of the paper is to calculate the Feynman path integrals on a coadjoint orbit of the infinite-dimensional Heisenberg group to give explicit formulae of actions of local one-parameter subgroups generated by the Virasoro operators.
