Graph theoretical approach to conformal correlators: The conformal squid

Abstract

We introduce a discrete, graph theoretic approach to conformal field theory correlators. In a certain basis, called the squid basis, the correlator of N scalar operators can be expressed as the determinant of a natural, conformally covariant metric on a weighted graph, called the squid graph. We present the construction of this metric and discuss its possible role in constraining conformal data.
