Canonical approach to 2D induced gravity

preprint2000arXivOpen access

Abstract

Using canonical method the Liouville theory has been obtained as a gravitational Wess-Zumino action of the Polyakov string. From this approach it is clear that the form of the Liouville action is the consequence of the bosonic representation of the Virasoro algebra, and that the coefficient in front of the action is proportional to the central charge and measures the quantum braking of the classical symmetry.
