Abstract

We study the Fock representations of the bosonic ghost system as modules over the Virasoro algebra, depending on two complex parameters. We give the complete description of the structure of these modules, using bosonization procedure and compute their BRST cohomology in the special case of the central charge c=26. We also derive the character identify.
