| Apr 14, 2011 at 20:10 | comment | added | André Henriques | One major issue in trying to compare the Bott-Virasoro story to the Liouville story is that the former doesn't make sense for annuli with non-zero thickness, while the latter doesn't make sense for annuli with zero thickness. Does your projective structure story bridge that gap? I have the feeling that your answer is entirely at the Lie algebra level... The last paragraph is interesting though: could you elaborate what you mean by it? | |
