Canonical supercurrent bracket of free RNS matter

ID: canonical-supercurrent-bracket-of-free-rns-matter

For RNS string matter normalized by and , put and . Then . The noncentral part of is . The distributional derivative identity , with a vanishing coincident Grassmann bilinear, converts this to . Use the chiral equation of motion to identify . Quantum normal ordering adds a central contact term proportional to , the local form of the N=1 super-Virasoro algebra central extension.
