Ghost zero-mode pairing
ID: ghost-zero-mode-pairing
With Hermitian and , a ket annihilated by has zero bare full-ghost norm. Nonzero amplitudes need FP ghost zero-mode saturation. Low-level Virasoro descendant calculations can instead normalize the highest-weight coefficient and compute algebraically. Such normalized contravariant coefficients are not positive-definite Hilbert norms. The pairing convention must be stated before using FP ghost descendants in a norm argument.
