Abstract

Modern development of conformal field theory in two dimensions and its applications to critical phenomena are briefly reviewed. The specific properties of the renormalization group in two dimensions and the fundamentals of 2-dimensional conformal field theory are presented. The properties of degenerate representations of the Virasoro algebra and other infinite dimensional algebras, "minimal" models of conformal and superconformal field theory, "parafermionic" and other symmetries are discussed. We also investigate a perturbation theory around conformal solutions of field theory.
