Introduction to conformal field theory, Lecture 10

preview_player
Показать описание
In this seminar I will, over some 10 lectures, introduce the basics of conformal field theory. The emphasis will be on the physical content, however, there will be reference to mathematical formulations throughout.

The course is based on a mixture of Ginsparg's "Applied Conformal Field Theory", hep-th/9108028 and Schottenloher's "A mathematical introduction to conformal field theory".

Prerequisites for the course comprise: advanced QM, QFT, advanced QFT, and some familiarity with symplectic methods, which you can cover by watching my previous videos.

In the 10th and final lecture I discuss the Hilbert space of CFT.

in 27:15 you said that the tilde version has to be replaced with untilde version which you did except the argument remain unchanged, I'm a bit confused cause on the bottom left the argument is f(w) (which is equal to z) but on the top right you wrote w=1/z as an argument?
I am a bit confused.

Thank you
