A Mathematical introduction to conformal field theory : based on a series of lectures given at the Mathematisches Institut der Universität Hamburg
The first part of this book gives a detailed, self-contained and mathematically rigorous exposition of classical conformal symmetry in n dimensions and its quantization in two dimensions. In particular, the conformal groups are determined and the appearence of the Virasoro algebra in the context of...
