Abstract:
We shall construct the quantization of the Sobolev space
V=H1/20(S1,R) of half-differentiable functions
on the circle closely related to the string theory. The group
QS(S1) of quasisymmetric homeomorphisms of the circle acts on this space by reparameterization but this action is not smooth. However, we can introduce a quantized infinitesimal action of QS(S1) on the Sobolev space V which allows us to construct a quantum algebra of observables associated with the classical system (V,QS(S1)).
