Realization of W1+∞ and Virasoro Algebras in Supersymmetric Theories on Four Manifolds
Abstract
We demonstrate that a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold M=1 × 2 , where 1,2 are 2D Riemann surfaces, possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on 1 (2) in the BRST cohomology. The central charge of the Virasoro algebra has a purely geometric origin and is proportional to the Euler characteristic of the 2 (1) surface. This structure is shown to be invariant under renormalization group. We also give a representation of the algebra W1+∞ in terms of a free chiral supermultiplet.
