Chiral constraint algebra of a closed string (${\mathrm{Diff}}_1\oplus {\mathrm{Diff}}_1$)

For a closed string, the currents $J_{\pm }=P\pm T{X}^{\prime }$ have vanishing mixed Poisson brackets. The densities ${\mathcal{H}}_{\pm }=J_{\pm }^2/(4T)$ therefore generate commuting constraint algebras. With opposite Fourier orientations their modes satisfy $\{L_m,L_n\}=-i(m-n)L_{m+n}$ and the identical relation for ${\tilde{L}}_n$. This is a direct sum of Lie algebras consisting of two Witt algebras.
