Conformal Field Theory Dalimil Mazáč - IPhT CEA Saclay |
||
|
Course description: The course will serve as an introduction to conformal field theory (CFT), in two as well as in higher dimensions. The focus will be on presenting CFT as a central organizing principle in quantum field theory. The topics covered will include: - Critical behavior in lattice models; RG flows; the Ising and O(N) models - Conformal invariance; the conformal bootstrap axioms - Conformal bootstrap of the 3d Ising CFT - CFT in two dimensions; Virasoro algebra - Conformal bootstrap solution of minimal models - RG flows between minimal models Time allowing, we will sketch elements of AdS/CFT correspondence. I recommend the excellent book by John Cardy: Scaling and renormalization in statistical physics, both as a preparation and for material complementary to the course. | ||
