Classical gravitational anomalies of Liouville theory
We show that for classical Liouville field theory, diffeomorphism invariance, Weyl invariance and locality cannot hold together. This is due to a genuine Virasoro center, present in the theory, that leads to an energy-momentum tensor with non-tensorial conformal transformations, in flat space, and w...
