Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;779Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-642-00449-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 259) and index.Basics in Conformal Field Theory -- Symmetries of Conformal Field Theories -- Conformal Field Theory on the Torus -- Supersymmetric Conformal Field Theory -- Boundary Conformal Field Theory.Based on class-tested notes, this text offers an introduction to Conformal Field Theory with a special emphasis on computational techniques of relevance for String Theory. It introduces Conformal Field Theory at a basic level, Kac-Moody algebras, one-loop partition functions, Superconformal Field Theories, Gepner Models and Boundary Conformal Field Theory. Eventually, the concept of orientifold constructions is explained in detail for the example of the bosonic string. In providing many detailed CFT calculations, this book is ideal for students and scientists intending to become acquainted with CFT techniques relevant for string theory but also for students and non-specialists from related fields.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;779Elementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryPhysicsGravitationString theoryElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Quantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Conformal invariantsString modelsElementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Physics.Gravitation.String theory.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.530.14UD 8220rvk*81-01msc33.16bcl33.23bcl33.24bcl33.50bcl81R10msc81T30msc81T40msc81T60mscBlumenhagen Ralphauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut478656Plauschinn Erikauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK996466697603316Introduction to conformal field theory1120708UNISA
