Nope, sorry.

>including all negative powers
All powers. That's what Laurent series mean.
>(which is what I think holomorphic and antiholomorphic is saying)
Not quite. A function [math]f[/math] is holomorphic if [math]\overline \partial f = 0[/math] and antiholomorphic if [math]\partial f =
0[/math].
>of what
The Virasoro algebra.
>and how do you get generators from the energy-momentum tensor?
With the formula up there.
>The generators are that of a scale transformation
No, the generators are the generators of the Virasoro algebra, which describes the algebra of the field operators, not the symmetry.

No, though I'm affiliated with Perimeter. Here the courses are taught from physical motivations but can become quite rigorous depending on what stream you're following. Since I'm following the mathematical physics stream (along Ed Witten), all courses are extremely rigorous.
