The book is divided into four lectures: Lecture 1 addresses the physical foundations of conformal invariance, while Lecture 2 examines the constraints imposed by conformal symmetry on the correlation functions of local operators, presented using the so-called projective null cone ? a procedure also known as the embedding formalism. In turn, Lecture 3 focuses on the radial quantization and the operator product expansion, while Lecture 4 offers a very brief introduction to the conformal bootstrap. Derived from course-based notes, these lectures are intended as a first point of entry to this topic for Master and PhD students alike. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5423 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aString theory 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aString theory. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aQuantum Field Theories, String Theory. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aMathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences. 676 $a530 700 $aRychkov$b Slava$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0821812 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739435803321 996 $aEPFL Lectures on Conformal Field Theory in D ? 3 Dimensions$91830164 997 $aUNINA
