Hidden conformal symmetry for Kerr-Newman-NUT-AdS black holes
Nuclear Physics B, 2020 We find the non-extremal Kerr-Newman-NUT-AdS black holes are holographically dual to the hidden two-dimensional conformal field theories. We explicitly construct two different conformal field theories (known as the J and Q pictures) dual to the black ...

Introduction to Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Proceedings of Eighth Modave Summer School in Mathematical Physics — PoS(Modave VIII), 2013 An elementary introduction to Conformal Field Theory is provided. We start by reviewing symmetries in classical and quantum field theories and the associated existence of conserved currents by Noether’s theorem. Next we describe general facts on conformal invariance in d dimensions and finish with the analysis of the special case d = 2, including an ...

DILOGARITHM IDENTITIES IN CONFORMAL FIELD THEORY [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 1993 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. In many cases, proofs are not yet known but the numerical and structural evidence is convincing.

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.

Nonrational Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
, 2009 We discuss the problem to develop a mathematical theory of a certain class of nonrational conformal field theories (CFT) which contain the unitary CFT. A variant of the concept of a modular functor is proposed that appears to be suitable for such CFT.

The Conformal Field Theory of Orbifolds
Nuclear Physics B, 1987 A prescription for the calculation of any correlation function in orbifold conformal field theory is given. The method is applied to the scattering of four twisted string states, which allows the extraction of operator product coefficients of conformal twist fields.
