Abstract

We investigate Verma modules V over the generalized Virasoro current algebrag, which is the semidirect sum of the Virasoro algebra and the central extension of a commutative algebra. It is shown that an arbitrary unitary representation with highest weight of algebrag is isomorphic to the tensor product of a unitary Fock representation ofg (or of a one-dimensional representation ofg) and a unitary representation with highest weight of the Virasoro algebra (considered as a representation of algebrag). This result is used to obtain formulas for the determinants of the matrices defining the Shapovalov form on Verma module V.
