Any N=2 superconformal field theory (SCFT) in four dimensions has a sector of operators related to a two-dimensional chiral algebra containing a Virasoro sub-algebra. Moreover, there are well-known examples of isolated SCFTs whose chiral…
All conformal correlation functions of 3 scalar primary operators are constructed in an axiomatic way, relying only on conformal symmetry and causality. The construction makes use of the R-product and its analyticity properties in Minkowski…
It has been known for some time that the (1,3) perturbations of the (2k+1,2) Virasoro minimal models have conserved currents which are also singular vectors of the Virasoro algebra. This also turns out to hold for the (1,2) perturbation of…
We investigate the constraints of crossing symmetry on CFT correlation functions. Four point conformal blocks are naturally viewed as functions on the upper-half plane, on which crossing symmetry acts by PSL(2,Z) modular transformations.…
Four-dimensional N-extended superconformal symmetry and correlation functions of quasi-primary superfields are studied within the superspace formalism. A superconformal Killing equation is derived and its solutions are classified in terms…
We present explicit recursive relations for the four-point superconformal block functions that are essentially particular contributions of the given conformal class to the four-point correlation function. The approach is based on the…
It is shown that the general 3-point function $<\Phi_{a} \Phi_{b} \Phi_{c}>$, with continuous values of charges $a, b, c$ of a statistical model operators, and the 3-point function of the Liouville model, could all be obtained by successive…
We consider the two-dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ quantum Toda field theory with an imaginary background charge. This conformal field theory has a higher spin symmetry ($W_n$ algebra), a central charge $c \leq n-1$ and a continuous…

Boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) is the study of conformal field theory (CFT) on manifolds with a boundary. We can use conformal symmetry to constrain correlation functions of conformal invariant fields. We compute two-point and…
