Abstract
We analyze the general solution of the Liouville equation on periodic two-dimensional spacetime in terms of a set of harmonic oscillators and a "center-of-mass motion." The energy takes a simple form in terms of the associated constants of motion. The obvious Poisson brackets among these latter lead to the correct canonical structure and quantization is discussed.Keywords
