Conformal Mechanics and the Virasoro Algebra
arXiv:hep-th/9901139 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/1999/04/006
Abstract
We demonstrate that any scale-invariant mechanics of one variable exhibits not only 0+1 conformal symmetry, but also the symmetries of a full Virasoro algebra. We discuss the implications for the adS/CFT correspondence.
