Conformal Field Theory (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)
by Philippe Francesco, Pierre Mathieu, David Senechal
A rigorous graduate-level treatment of conformal field theory, covering the Virasoro algebra, correlation functions, and operator product expansions for theoretical physics.
About This Book
This graduate text presents the foundations of conformal field theory, a framework central to the study of critical phenomena and string theory.
The authors systematically develop the mathematical structures underlying two-dimensional conformal invariance and its physical implications.
Topics include the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra, correlation functions, and operator product expansions.
The book serves as both a textbook for advanced students and a reference for researchers working in theoretical and mathematical physics.
