Описание: This primer develops Conformal Field Theory (CFT) from scratch, whereby CFT is viewed as any conformally-invariant theory that describes a fixed point of a renormalization group flow in quantum field theory.The book is divided into four lectures: Lecture 1 addresses the physical foundations of conformal invariance, while Lecture 2 examines the constraints imposed by conformal symmetry on the correlation functions of local operators, presented using the so-called projective null cone – a procedure also known as the embedding formalism. In turn, Lecture 3 focuses on the radial quantization and the operator product expansion, while Lecture 4 offers a very brief introduction to the conformal bootstrap. Derived from course-based notes, these lectures are intended as a first point of entry to this topic for Master and PhD students alike.
Описание: Written by internationally renowned experts, this comprehensive introduction to boundary conformal field theory extends from theoretical foundations to recent developments, with an emphasis on the algebraic treatment of string backgrounds. Providing numerous worked examples, this reference is of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics.

Описание: String theory continues to progress at an astonishing rate, and this book brings the reader up to date with the latest developments and the most active areas of research in the field. Building on the foundations laid in his Introduction to Superstrings and M Theory, Professor Kaku discusses such topics as the classification of conformal string theories, knot theory, the Yang-Baxter relation, quantum groups, and the insights into 11-dimensional strings recently obtained from M-theory. New chapters discuss such topics as Seiberg- Witten theory, M theory and duality., and D-branes. Several chapters review the fundamentals of string theory, making the presentation of the material self-contained while keeping overlap with the earlier book to a minimum. This book conveys the vitality of the current research and places readers at its forefront.

Описание: In the last few years we have witnessed an upsurge of interest in exactly solvable quantum field theoretical models in many branches of theoretical physics ranging from mathematical physics through high-energy physics to solid states.
Описание: Gives a comprehensive account of the theoretical, computational and application aspects of the problems of determining conformal modules of quadrilaterals and of mapping conformally onto a rectangle. This work presents a survey of available numerical methods and associated computer software for conformal mapping.
Описание: This Book Is Aimed At Graduate Students And Researchers In Physics And Mathematics Who Seek To Understand The Basics Of Supersymmetry From A Mathematical Point Of View. It Provides A Bridge Between The Physical And Mathematical Approaches To The Superworld. The Physicist Who Is Devoted To Learning The Basics Of Supergeometry Can Find A Friendly Approach Here, Since Only The Concepts That Are Strictly Necessary Are Introduced. On The Other Hand, The Mathematician Who Wants To Learn From Physics Will Find That All The Mathematical Assumptions Are Firmly Rooted In Physical Concepts. This May Open Up A Channel Of Communication Between The Two Communities Working On Different Aspects Of Supersymmetry. Starting From Special Relativity And Minkowski Space, The Idea Of Conformal Space And Superspace Is Built Step By Step In A Mathematically Rigorous Way, And Always Connecting With The Ideas And Notation Used In Physics. While The Book Is Mainly Devoted To These Important Physical Examples Of Superspaces, It Can Also Be Used As An Introduction To The Field Of Supergeometry, Where A Reader Can Ease Into The Subject Without Being Overwhelmed With The Technical Difficulties.
