Abstract
Conformal Field Theory (CFT) became a general technique in quantum field theory and its applications. One could say, in a sense, that for the critical phenomena in 2D statistical systems, and also for the string theory, the CFT plays the role similar to that which quantum mechanics plays for atomic physics. Other areas of theoretical physics where CFT is being used are 2D quantum field theory models, 2D quantum gravity, topological theories, condense matter physics (Kondo problem, quantum Hall effect being particular examples). In addition, there are numerous connections to pure mathematics: infinite dimensional Lie algebras and theory of their representations, quantum groups, etc.KeywordsCorrelation FunctionVertex OperatorOperator Product ExpansionConformal Field TheoryCurrent AlgebraThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
