Irrational Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Physics 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]
Communications 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]
Nuclear 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]
International 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.

Quantum gravity from conformal field theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We bootstrap loop corrections to AdS5 supergravity amplitudes by enforcing the consistency of the known classical results with the operator product expansion of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills theory.

Holography from Conformal Field Theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length is one of the remarkable aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be large compared to the Planck length and the string length. In the CFT this

Open Descendants in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Fortschritte der Physik/Progress of Physics, 1996 Open descendants extend Conformal Field Theory to unoriented surfaces with boundaries. The construction rests on two types of generalizations of the fusion algebra. The first is needed even in the relatively simple case of diagonal models.

Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that move to complex values of the couplings. When the complex fixed points are close to the real axis, the system typically exhibits walking behavior with Miransky (or Berezinsky ...

AdS field theory from conformal field theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013 Abstract We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Conformal Field Theory to have a description in terms of a perturbative Effective Field Theory in AdS. The first two conditions are well-known: the existence of a perturbative ‘1/N ’ expansion and an approximate Fock space of states generated by a finite number of low ...

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.
