Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The book under review collects many classical results on representations of the Virasoro algebra and can be used both as a reference source and as a textbook." (Volodymyr Mazorchuk, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 m)
"The aim of the book is to describe fundamental facts about the representation theory of the Virasoro algebras in a self-contained manner. ... At the end of each chapter are bibliographical notes and comments, and some times some extra appendices. A quick guide for further reading of some topics that are not treated in this book is presented, as well as a comprehensive list of references." (Daniel Bulacu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1222, 2011)
