Description
A class of Virasoro algebras with continuously varying central charge are obtained by the addition of terms linear in Kac-Moody generators. The change of the spectrum of Virasoro primary fields and that of characters are investigated. A lattice model is used to show how finite size effects are altered. The underlying two-dimensional field theory can be constructed on a curved manifold. (orig.)
