摘要
An exact C-function, which is an action for the Virasoro master equation, is obtained on affine-Virasoro space. The solutions of the master equation are fixed points of an associated flow, which obeys a C-theorem. The closed sub-flow SO(n)diag is a flow on the space of graphs, and the associated Morse polynomials are known generating functions in graph theory. The general flow also implies a method for prediction of sporadic conformal deformations. We note the resemblance of this system to the expected form of an exact renormalization group equation.
