[For the entire collection see Zbl 0724.00013.] It is the aim of this talk to show the connection between the spectra of one-dimensional quantum chains at the critical point with different boundary conditions and certain irreducible representations of Virasoro algebras. We confine ourselves to the finite-size scaling limit of the spectra although we will also consider correction terms. One-dimensional quantum chains are related to the transfer matrix of two-dimensional spin systems and are relevant for the understanding of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics.
