The worldsheet conformal Killing group is the connected residual group of conformal automorphisms of the chosen compact Riemann surface. Its infinitesimal vectors satisfy the Conformal Killing equation, or P1​v=0 for the worldsheet diffeomorphism ghost operator. Its complex dimensions are three on a sphere, one on a torus, and zero for genus at least two. The sphere group consists of Möbius transformations, while the torus's connected group is translation. Additional discrete automorphisms are handled by the moduli quotient rather than counted as continuous zero modes.
