- Abstract
In this paper, we first construct an analogue of the Sugawara operators for the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. By using these operators, we show that every integrable highest weight module over an affine Lie algebra can be viewed as a unitary representation of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. As a by-product of our constructions, we give the unitary representations of the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra which have the central charges appearing in [1]. Our approach to obtain these central charges is different with that of [1].
