The conformal gauge to the derivative gauge for worldsheet gravity

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates a mapping between the conformal and derivative gauges in worldsheet gravity using FFBRST formulation, showing that issues with Virasoro constraints are gauge artifacts.

Contribution

It establishes a novel connection between two gauges in worldsheet gravity, clarifying the nature of Virasoro constraints through FFBRST techniques.

Findings

Mapping between conformal and derivative gauges established

Virasoro constraint issues are gauge artifacts

FFBRST formulation applied to worldsheet gravity

Abstract

The BRST quantizations of worldsheet gravity corresponding to final more acceptable derivative gauge and the standard conformal gauge are studied. We establish a mapping between these two gauges utilizing FFBRST formulation in standard way. Therefore, we are able to declare that the problems associated with Virasoro constraints are the gauge artifact.
