Fourty Years of Conformal Field Theory

Abstract


The seminal paper "Infinite conformal symmetry in two-dimensional quantum field theory", by Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov, was published in the Fall of 1984 but actually appeared as a CERN preprint in February of the same year. We take this 40th anniversary as an opportunity to celebrate a milestone in theoretical physics, and to recall the contribution of INFN 's Florence group to some subsequent developments in the field.
