Conformal theories in 2 dimensions 3. 140 0 obj The aim of these notes is to give a pedagogical introduction to the subject in two and higher dimensions, where standard textbook material will be supplemented by more modern techniques. Although the course was offered primarily for graduate students, these lecture notes have been prepared for a more general audience. masters level) students. The total number of parameters de ning conformal transformations, so long as d6= 2, is therefore 1 2 (d+ 1)(d+ 2). Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. >> endstream These lecture notes provide a detailed introduction to the bosonic string and conformal field theory, aimed at "Part III" (i.e. Angefangen bei konformen Transformationen, der konformen Gruppe (des R^{p,q}) über die Prinzipien der Quantisierung von Symmetrien (und der benötigten Mathematik), die Virasoro-Algebra hin zu Anwendungen wie der String-theorie, Vertex-Algebren und der Verlinde-Formel gibt das Buch einen breiten Einstieg in das Thema. The second edition of these notes has been completely rewritten and substantially expanded with the intention not only to improve the use of the book as an int- ductory text to conformal ?eld theory, but also to get in contact with some recent developments. The second part surveys some more advanced topics of conformal field theory, such as the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra, conformal symmetry within string theory, an axiomatic approach to Euclidean conformally covariant quantum field theory and a mathematical interpretation of the Verlinde formula in the context of moduli spaces of holomorphic vector bundles on a Riemann surface.The substantially revised and enlarged second edition makes in particular the second part of the book more self-contained and tutorial, with many more examples given. "The book under review is the second … edition of the original text, thereby reflecting various recent developments in the field during the past ten years, on the one hand, and making especially the physics part of the notes more detailed, self-contained and tutorial on the other. The present expanded notes complement these publications by giving an elementary and comparatively short mathematics-oriented introduction focusing on some main principles. LECTURES ON THE LANGLANDS PROGRAM AND CONFORMAL FIELD THEORY 3 Introduction These lecture notes give an overview of recent results in geometric Langlands correspon-dence which may yield applications to quantum eld theory. >> The format of the course will be a `peer-study' course.
