-==introduction==
-* Virasoro algebra could be pre-knowledge for the study of CFT
-*  important results on Virasoro algebra are
-** (i)[[Kac determinant formula|Kac Determinant Formula]]
-** (ii) discrete series (A. J. Wassermann, Lecture Notes on the Kac-Moody and Virasoro algebras)
-** (iii) GKO construction of discrete series (this is added on 22nd of Oct, 2007)
-*  representation theory, see [[highest weight representation of Vir]]
-** full classification of all CFT's for c<1
-** no classification for c>1
-==Virasoro algebra==
-*  Lie algebra of vector fields on the unit circle
-:<math>f(z)\frac{d}{dz}</math>
-*  commutator
-:<math>[f(z)\frac{d}{dz},g(z)\frac{d}{dz}]=(fg'-f'g)\frac{d}{dz}</math>
-*  Virasoro generators
-:<math>L_n=-z^{n+1}\frac{d}{dz}</math>
-*  they satisfy the following relation (Witt algebra)
-:<math>[L_m,L_n]=(m-n)L_{m+n}</math>
-* Homological algebra tells that there is 1-dimensional central extension of Witt algebra
-*  taking a [[central extension of groups and Lie algebras|central extension of lie algebras]], we get the Virasoro algebra <math>L_n,n\in \mathbb{Z}</math>
-:<math>[c,L_n]=0</math>
-:<math>[L_m,L_n]=(m-n)L_{m+n}+\frac{c}{12}(m^3-m)\delta_{m+n}</math>
-==central charge and conformal weight==
-* highest weight representation
-* <math>c</math> is called the central charge
-* <math>h</math> is sometimes called a conformal dimension or conformal weights
-==Verma module==
-* [[highest weight representation of Vir]]
-==unitarity and ghost==
-* unitarity means the inner product in the space of states is positive definite (or semi-positive definite)
-* A state with negative norm is called a ghost.
-* If a ghost is found on any level the represetation cannot occur in a unitary theory
-==unitary irreducible representations==
-* [[highest weight representation of Vir]]
-==affine Lie algebras==
-* a highest weight representation V of an [[affine Kac-Moody algebra]] gives unitary representation of the Virasoro algebra
-* This is because V is a unitary highest weight representation of the AKMA.
-* Read chapter 4 of Kac-Raina on Wedge space
-* [[unitary representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras]]
-==character of minimal models==
-* [[minimal models]]
-* [[bosonic characters of Virasoro minimal models(Rocha-Caridi formula)|bosonic characters of minimal models]]
-==No-Ghost theorem==
-* refer to the [[No-ghost theorem and the construction of moonshine module and monster Lie algbera]]
-==history==
-* according to Virasoro
-* When I went back to Wisconsin I began to look carefully at the low lying resonances of the model by calculating by brute force their couplings to n-ground states and checking whether there were cancellations.
-* My luck then was a direct consequence of my laziness.
-* I knew that calculations were much simpler if α(0) = 1 (this as a by-product of an earlier work on an alternative dual, crossing-symmetric amplitude), so I was routinely working at that value.
-* Thus when I found that at the first level the ghost decoupled I could continue to the second level and there find that there were some additional decouplings.
-* At that exact moment I heard from Gabriele the unwelcome news that at least two groups had derived the first level results. Fortunately, by then I was used to this kind of frustration and did not rush to publish but continued trying to simplify the calculation. The paper still shows how messy the original calculation was, but how it simplifies considerably once the Fubini–Veneziano [FV69] creation–annihilation operators were used.
-* Furthermore, written in that way, the generalization to the mth level became trivial.
-* The operator turns out to create a resonance uncoupled to any number of ground states
-* Thus there are as many uncoupled resonances as there are ghosts and therefore I assumed that all the ghosts had been killed. I was worried that I was trading ghosts for a tachyon.
-* On the other hand, I happily dismissed the possibility that I could be killing good resonances and leaving ghosts alive.
-* I have checked that this was not the case for the first two levels but it was Thorn, Brower and Goddard that took this issue seriously.
-* the operators $L_m$'s showed up in 1971 paper by Veneziano and Fubini
-* the central extension of the Virasoro algebras was not observed until 1974, and even then only in  private communication from J. Weis quoted in [CT74]
