Links between sets of axioms for conformal field theory: an introduction


In this talk, the speaker will give a broad introduction to some recent results linking the algebraic approach to CFT given by vertex algebras with the approach to axiomatic quantum field theory given by Wightman.
Based on joint work with James Tener and Yoh Tanimoto.

Description

 

Conformal field theory has been an active area of mathematical and physical research for the last 30 years. Several different axiomatic approaches to describing CFT have been developed, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. It is then natural to ask, under which assumptions are   these different approaches equivalent?
