Notes:
The Virasoro algebra and group are examined in (3+1)-dimensional theory with an Abelian gauge field coupled with the gravitational field. The two-cocycle for the group is constructed by using the so-called descent equation. Its infinitesimal version gives the Schwinger–Jackiw–Johnson term in the Virasoro algebra in 3+1 dimensions. It appears that in the case of an external monopole field the Virasoro algebra and group in 3+1 dimensions are the direct generalization of the standard ones in 1+1 dimensions, respectively.
