Conformal field theory and elliptic cohomology
In this paper, we use conformal field theory to construct a generalized cohomology theory which has some properties of elliptic cohomology theory which was some properties of elliptic cohomology. A part of our presentation is a rigorous definition of conformal field theory following Segal’s axioms, and some examples, such as lattice theories associated with a unimodular even lattice. We also in...
متن کاملNoncommutative Quantization in 2D Conformal Field Theory
The simplest possible noncommutative harmonic oscillator in two dimensions is used to quantize the free closed bosonic string in two flat dimensions. The partition function is not deformed by the introduction of noncommutativity, if we rescale the time and change the compactification radius appropriately. The four point function is deformed, preserving, nevertheless, the sl(2,C) invariance. Fin...
متن کاملChiral scale and conformal invariance in 2D quantum field theory.
It is well known that a local, unitary Poincaré-invariant 2D quantum field theory with a global scaling symmetry and a discrete non-negative spectrum of scaling dimensions necessarily has both a left and a right local conformal symmetry. In this Letter, we consider a chiral situation beginning with only a left global scaling symmetry and do not assume Lorentz invariance. We find that a left con...
متن کاملCanonical Theory of 2D Gravity Coupled to Conformal Matter
A canonical quantization for two dimensional gravity models, including a dilaton gravity model, is performed in a way suitable for the light-cone gauge. We extend the theory developed by Abdalla et.al.[1] and obtain the correlation functions by using the screening charges of the symmetry algebra. It turns out that the role of the cosmological constant term in the Liouville theory is played by t...
متن کاملThe Conformal Mode in 2D Simplicial Gravity
We verify that summing 2D DT geometries correctly reproduces the Polyakov action for the conformal mode, including all ghost contributions, at large volumes. The Gaussian action is reproduced even for cm = 10, well into the branched polymer phase, which confirms the expectation that the DT measure is indeed correct in this regime as well Introduction. In the last decade there has been considera...
