I'm doing an easy calculation. The problem is to write down the generators of the super-virasoro algebra in terms of the bosonic and fermionic oscillators. I'm following Polchinski. I'm trying to derive equation (10.2.12a)
We write TB(z)=∑n∈ZLnzn+2
We invert to get Ln=∮dz2πizn+2TB(z)
Now, TB(z)=−12ψ∂ψ
+ contributions from bosons
I'm trying to calculate the Ln in terms of the fermionic oscillators. I get
Ln=14∑r∈Z+ν(2r+1)ψn−rψr
However, the correct formula is : Ln=14∑r∈Z+ν(2r−m)ψn−rψr
Is this a typo? Or is my formula incorrect?
