• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first complete textbook on conformal field theory. Intended primarily for graduate students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics, it will also be of interest to students and researchers in condensed matter theory, statistical physics, and other areas of theoretical physics and mathematics. The book develops the theory from first principles, providing many proofs and exercises.
