Mathematics Subject Classification ID

Infinite-dimensional groups and algebras motivated by physics, including Virasoro, Kac-Moody, (W)-algebras and other current algebras and their representations (81R10) Model quantum field theories (81T10) String and superstring theories; other extended objects (e.g., branes) in quantum field theory (81T30)

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.
