Conformal field theory: a case study

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This is a set of introductory lecture notes devoted to the Wess-Zumino-Witten model of two-dimensional conformal field theory. We review the construction of the exact solution of the model from the functional integral point of view. The boundary version of the theory is also briefly discussed.
