Conformal field theory and elliptic cohomology
In this paper, we use conformal field theory to construct a generalized cohomology theory which has some properties of elliptic cohomology theory which was some properties of elliptic cohomology. A part of our presentation is a rigorous definition of conformal field theory following Segal’s axioms, and some examples, such as lattice theories associated with a unimodular even lattice. We also in...
متن کاملConformal field theory and integrable systems associated to elliptic curves
It has become clear over the years that quantum groups (i.e., quasitriangular Hopf algebras, see [D]) and their semiclassical counterpart, Poisson Lie groups, are an essential algebraic structure underlying three related subjects: integrable models of statistical mechanics, conformal field theory and integrable models of quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions. Still, some points remain obscure ...
متن کاملOperads and Conformal Field Theory Lecture 1: Conformal Field Theory
Physicists have developed very advanced methods to compute such integrals. For example, the famous Feynman diagram technique allows us to compute the above integral for a rather particular function S(x), a small perturbation of a positive de nite quadratic form in R . Sometimes, elaborate techniques of physicists to compute simple things nd an amazing application to very general things in mathe...

متن کاملLogarithmic Conformal Field Theory
The periods of arbitrary abelian forms on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, in particular the periods of the meromorphic Seiberg-Witten differential λ SW , are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the conformal blocks of correlation functions of the rational logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c = c 2,1 = −2. The fields of this theory precisely simulate the branched do...
