Explicit fermionic realisations are proposed. In order to have well defined generators, beyond the usual normal ordering prescription, we introduce a regulator and regularise infinite sums by means of Riemann $\\zeta-$function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-08T12:30:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "virasoro algebra", "fermion realisations", "generalised kac-moody", "two-sphere", "higher dimensional compact manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
