The FQS criterion for the Virasoro algebra was discovered by Friedan, Qiu and Shenker ([1]), but the mathematicians found their proof insufficient, so that, FQS ([2]) and Langlands ([3]), published in the same time a complete proof. There is an error in the paper of Langlands : ([3]) lemma 7b page 148 (see also [here][5] page 7) : - $p=2$, $q=1$, $m=2$, $h_{p,q}(m)= \frac{5}{8}$, $M=4$ - $p=4$, $q=1$, $m=3$, $h_{p,q}(m)= \frac{7}{2}$, $M=13$ - ... yield case $(B)$, but $(p,q) \ne (1,1)$ and $m \ngtr q+p-1$ (in fact, we need to distinguish between $q \ne 1$ and $q=1$, not between $(p,q) \ne (1,1)$ and $q=(1,1)$). This lemma is used in the rest of the paper. >**Question**: Is there a way to fix the rest of the paper ? **Remark** : This way was used by Sauvageot (([4]) lemma 2 (ii) p 648), without fixing. **References** : ([1]) D.
