Irrational conformal field theory [PDF]
Physics Reports, 1996 This is a review of irrational conformal field theory, which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Central topics of the review include the Virasoro master equation, its solutions and the dynamics of irrational conformal field theory.

Axiomatic Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2000 A new rigorous approach to conformal field theory is presented. The basic objects are families of complex-valued amplitudes, which define a meromorphic conformal field theory (or chiral algebra) and which lead naturally to the definition of topological vector spaces, between which vertex operators act as continuous operators.

Discreteness and integrality in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Various observables in compact CFTs are required to obey positivity, discreteness, and integrality. Positivity forms the crux of the conformal bootstrap, but understanding of the abstract implications of discreteness and integrality for the space of CFTs

Note on Weyl versus conformal invariance in field theory
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017 It was argued recently that conformal invariance in flat spacetime implies Weyl invariance in a general curved background for unitary theories and possible anomalies in the Weyl variation of scalar operators are identified.

Conformal field theory in conformal space [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1999 We present a new framework for a Lagrangian description of conformal field theories in various dimensions based on a local version of d+2-dimensional conformal space. The results include a true gauge theory of conformal gravity in d=(1,3) and any standard matter coupled to it.

On non-supersymmetric conformal manifolds: field theory and holography [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We discuss the constraints that a conformal field theory should enjoy to admit exactly marginal deformations, i.e. to be part of a conformal manifold. In particular, using tools from conformal perturbation theory, we derive a sum rule from which one can ...

ALE MANIFOLDS AND CONFORMAL FIELD THEORIES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1994 We address the problem of constructing the family of (4,4) theories associated with the σ model on a parametrized family ℳζ of asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds. We rely on the ADE classification of these manifolds and on their construction as hyper-Kähler quotients, due to Kronheimer.

Loops in AdS from conformal field theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We propose and demonstrate a new use for conformal field theory (CFT) crossing equations in the context of AdS/CFT: the computation of loop amplitudes in AdS, dual to non-planar correlators in holographic CFTs. Loops in AdS are largely unexplored, mostly
