Projections of Virasoro Singular Vectors
نویسنده
چکیده
We use recently derived explicit formulae for the Virasoro algebra’s singular vectors to give constructive proofs of three results due to Feigin and Fuchs. The main result, which is needed for a rigorous treatment of fusion, describes the action of the singular vectors on conformal fields.

Singular Vectors of the Virasoro Algebra
We give expressions for the singular vectors in the highest weight representations of the Virasoro algebra. We verify that the expressions — which take the form of a product of operators applied to the highest weight vector — do indeed define singular vectors. These results explain the patterns of embeddings amongst Virasoro algebra highest weight representations. Conformal field theory relies ...
متن کاملExplicit formula for singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra with central charge less than 1
We calculate explicitly the singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra with the central charge c ≤ 1. As a result, we have an infinite sequence of the singular vectors for each Fock space with given central charge and highest weight, and all its elements can be written in terms of the Jack symmetric functions with rectangular Young diagram. Since the paper of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov [...
متن کاملReduction of the Knizhnik -zamolodchikov Equation – a Way of Producing Virasoro Singular Vectors *
We prove that for (half-) integer isospins the sl(2, C I) Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation reduces to the decoupling equation coming from Benoit-Saint-Aubin singular vectors. In the general case an algorithm is suggested which transforms, via the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation, a Kac-Moody singular vector into a Virasoro one. * Work supported in part by the Bulgarian Foundation for Fundamental ...
متن کاملRing of physical states in the M(2,3) Minimal Liouville gravity
We consider the M(2, 3) Minimal Liouville gravity, whose states in the gravity sector are represented by irreducible modules of the Virasoro algebra. We present a recursive construction for BRST cohomology classes. This construction is based on using an explicit form of singular vectors in irreducible modules of the Virasoro algebra. We construct an algebra of operators acting on the BRST cohom...
متن کاملPolynomial τ - functions of the NLS - Toda hierarchy and the Virasoro singular vectors
A family of polynomial τ -functions for the NLS-Toda hierarchy is constructed. The hierarchy is associated with the homogeneous vertex operator representation of the affine algebra g of type A (1) 1 . These τ -functions are given explicitly in terms of Schur functions that correspond to rectangular Young diagrams. It is shown that an arbitrary polynomial τ -function which is an eigenvector of d...
