Conformal field theory is an elegant and powerful theory in the
field of high energy physics and statistics. In fact, it can be
said to be one of the greatest achievements in the development of
this field. Presented in two dimensions, this book is designed for
students who already have a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics,
field theory and general relativity. The main idea used throughout
the book is that conformal symmetry causes both classical and
quantum integrability. Instead of concentrating on the numerous
applications of the theory, the author puts forward a discussion of
the general methods of conformal field theory as a physical theory.
Hence the book provides in a self-contained way the necessary
knowledge and "conformal" intuition which underline the various
applications of conformal field theory. It is aimed to assist
students and professionals in the study of the theory from its
first principles and in applying the methods in their own research.
The first of its kind, this book promises to give a detailed and
comprehensive insight into the workings of conformal field theory.
