Abstract: Let $operatornameWitt$ be the Lie algebra generated by the set $L_i,vert,iinmathbbZ$ and $operatornameVir$ its universal central extension. Let $operatornameDiff(V)$ be the Lie algebra of differential operators on $V=mathbbC[[z]]$, $mathbbC((z))$ or $V=mathbbC(z)$. We explicitly describe all Lie algebra homomorphisms from $mathfraksl(2)$, $operatornameWitt$ and $operatornameVir$ to $operatornameDiff(V)$ such that $L_0$ acts on $V$ as a first order differential operator.

Review text

The Virasoro algebra is a class of important Lie algebras, which has been widely used in many physics areas and other mathematical branches, such as quantum physics, conformal field theory, Kac-Moody algebras, vertex algebras, and so on. It is well know that the centerless Virasoro algebra is called the Witt algebra. Let \(\mathrm{Diff}(V)\) be the Lie algebra of differential operators on \(V = \mathbb{C}((z))\), \(\mathbb{C}z\) or \(V=\mathbb{C}(z)\). In this paper, the authors explicitly describe all Lie algebra homomorphisms from \(\mathrm{sl}(2)\), Witt algebra, and Virasoro algebra to \(\mathrm{Diff}(V)\), such that \(L_0\) acts on V as a first-order differential operator.
