State-operator correspondence for Virasoro primaries
ID: state-operator-correspondence-for-virasoro-primaries
For a primary operator, . Taking the residue against gives the weight for , the derivative descendant for , and zero for every . Conversely the absence of positive-mode actions excludes higher poles in this operator product and gives the primary transformation law. The antiholomorphic argument is identical. Thus primary states and primary operators correspond under radial quantization.
