Irrational Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Reports, 1995
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 ...

Axiomatic Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Mathematical Physics, 1998
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 ...

Spinons in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 1994
We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory and the ...

ALE manifolds and Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics A, 1993
We address the problem of constructing the family of (4,4) theories associated with the sigma-model on a parametrized family ${\cal M}_{\zeta}$ of Asymptotically Locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds.

Discreteness and integrality in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Conformal Invariance in Classical Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 1993
A geometric generalization of first-order Lagrangian formalism is used to analyse a conformal field theory for an arbitrary primary field. We require that global conformal transformations are Noetherian symmetries and we prove that the action functional ...

Dilogarithm Identities in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 1992
Dilogarithm identities for the central charges and conformal dimensions exist for at least large classes of rational conformally invariant quantum field theories in two dimensions.

Conformal field theory in conformal space [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear 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.
