Irrational Conformal Field Theory on the Sphere and the Torus
Abstract
Description
I review the foundations of irrational conformal field theory (ICFT), which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Highlights of the review include the Virasoro master equation and the generalized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations for the correlators of ICFT on the sphere and the torus.
