Conformal Field Theory as a Nuclear Functor
We consider Segal’s categorical approach to conformal field theory (CFT). Segal constructed a category whose objects are finite families of circles, and whose morphisms are Riemann surfaces with boundary compatible with the families of circles in the domain and codomain. A CFT is then defined to be a functor to the category of Hilbert spaces, preserving the appropriate structure. In particular,...
متن کاملOf McKay Correspondence, Non-linear Sigma-model and Conformal Field Theory
The ubiquitous A-D-E classification has induced many proposals of often mysterious correspondences both in mathematics and physics. The mathematics side includes quiver theory and the McKay Correspondence which relates finite group representation theory to Lie algebras as well as crepant resolutions of Gorenstein singularities. On the physics side, we have the graph-theoretic classification of ...
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 کاملBorn-Infeld String as a Boundary Conformal Field Theory
Solutions of Born-Infeld theory, representing strings extending from a Dirichlet p-brane, are also solutions of the higher derivative generalization of the Born-Infeld equations defining an exact open string vacuum configuration.
