31. (0) may also have a component along I. Such generalization would lead to a new and two-dimension specific interaction [6, 14], which we do not consider in this paper.
32. 3 to the matter Lagrangian [6, 14]. Such a term is not gauge invariant but its variation is a total derivative; hence the resulting action is gauge invariant. We do not include this interaction in the present discussion.

35. 20. This commutator demonstrates that it is unnecessary to satisfy the momentum constraint (4.1b) separately, provided the energy constraint (4.1a), i.e., the Wheeler-De Witt equation, is solved, since according to (4.3) the latter implies the former; see V. Moncrief and C. Teitelboim, Phys. Rev. D 6 (1972), 966.

48. 29. That the sign of a commutator anomaly depends on how the vacuum state is defined was first observed by P. Jordan, Z. Phys. 93 (1935), 464. In the context of the Virasoro anomaly, this point is explained by R. Floreanini and R. Jackiw, Phys. Lett. B 175 (1986), 428.
