Conformal field theory and hyperbolic geometry.
We examine the correspondence between the conformal field theory of boundary operators and two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. by consideration of domain boundaries in two-dimensional critical systems, and the invariance of the hyperbolic length, we motivate a reformulation of the basic equation of conformal covariance. The scale factors gain a new, physical interpretation. We exhibit a fully ...
متن کاملConformal Field Theory, Geometry, and Entropy
In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, an explicit relation between the physical degrees of freedom of 2+1d gravity and the stress tensor of 1+1d conformal field theory is exhibited. Gravity encodes thermodynamic state variables of conformal field theory, but does not distinguish among different CFT states with the same expectation value for the stress tensor. Simply put, gravity is ther...
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 کاملThe Analytic Geometry of Two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory*
Some years ago, Polyakov [1] proposed constructing all conformally invariant quan tum field theories by using the constraint of conformal invariance to make concrete the fundamental principles of quantum field theory. This is the conformal boots t rap program. Conformal field theories describe the universality classes of critical phenomena, or equivalently the short distance limits of quantum f...
متن کاملNormally Hyperbolic Operators, the Huygens Property and Conformal Geometry
In this paper we give a review on normally hyperbolic operators of Huygens type. The methods to determine Huygens operators we explain here were essentially innuenced and developed by Paul G unther.
