  • What is the conformal field theory?

    A conformal field theory (CFT) is a quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal transformations.
    In two dimensions, there is an infinite-dimensional algebra of local conformal transformations, and conformal field theories can sometimes be exactly solved or classified.

  • What is conformal field theory in two dimensions?

    Two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) are defined on Riemann surfaces, where local conformal maps are holomorphic functions.
    While a CFT might conceivably exist only on a given Riemann surface, its existence on any surface other than the sphere implies its existence on all surfaces.

  • Why conformal field theory?

    So, if you care about a field theory near a phase transition or at the fixed point of an RG flow, you should care about conformal field theories.
    The second reason is that the requirement that a theory is conformally invariant is so restrictive that many things can be solved for that would otherwise be intractable.

  • Why conformal field theory?

    In theoretical physics, a logarithmic conformal field theory is a conformal field theory in which the correlators of the basic fields are allowed to be logarithmic at short distance, instead of being powers of the fields' distance.
