The free embedding scalars contribute . The ordinary diffeomorphism ghosts contribute . The fermionic pair has and contributes . Each of the fermionic pairs has and contributes . Each bosonic pair has and contributes , and there are two such pairs. The total holomorphic central charge is therefore
Cancellation of the worldsheet Weyl anomaly requires , so
The antiholomorphic sector gives the same condition.
