Developing on the ideas of R. Stora and coworkers, a formulation of two dimensional field theory endowed with extended conformal symmetry is given, which is based on deformation theory of holomorphic and Hermitian spaces. The geometric background consists of a vector bundle $E$ over a closed surface $\Sigma$ endowed with a holomorphic structure and a Hermitian structure subordinated to it. The symmetry group is the semidirect product of the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(E)$ of $E$ and the extended Weyl group ${\rm Weyl}(E)$ of $E$ and acts on the holomorphic and Hermitian structures. The extended Weyl anomaly can be shifted into an automorphism chirally split anomaly by adding to the action a local counterterm, as in ordinary conformal field theory. The dependence on the scale of the metric on the fiber of $E$ is encoded in the Donaldson action, a vector bundle generalization of the Liouville action. The Weyl and automorphism anomaly split into two contributions corresponding respectively to the determinant and projectivization of $E$. The determinant part induces an effective ordinary Weyl or diffeomorphism anomaly and the induced central charge can be computed.
