Using the radial-ordering sign in commuting beta-gamma contractions, single contractions give T(z)β(w)∼λβ(w)/(z−w)2+∂β(w)/(z−w) and the corresponding weight 1−λ for γ. Put A=:∂βγ: and B=:β∂γ:. Their double-contraction coefficients in AA,BB,AB,BA are respectively 1,1,2,2. The fourth-order pole of TT is therefore (1−λ)2+λ2−4λ(1−λ)=6λ2−6λ+1, which equals c/2. There is no anticommuting Wick sign.
