Curvature of Super Diff(S/sup 1/)/S/sup 1/

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6347456

Motivated by the work of Bowick and Rajeev, we calculate the curvature of the infinite-dimensional flag manifolds DiffS/sup 1//S/sup 1/ and Super DiffS/sup 1//S/sup 1/ using standard finite-dimensional coset space techniques. We regularize the infinity by zeta-function regularization and recover the conformal and superconformal anomalies respectively for a specific choice of the torsion.
