We study correlation functions in two-dimensional conformal field theory coupled to induced gravity in the light-cone gauge. Focussing on the fermion four-point function, we display an unexpected non-perturbative singularity structure:…

We construct a non-chiral conformal field theory (CFT) on the torus that accommodates a second quantization of the elliptic Calogero-Sutherland (eCS) model. We show that the CFT operator that provides this second quantization defines, at…
We show that all lowest Landau level projected and unprojected chiral parton type fractional quantum Hall ground and edge state trial wave functions, which take the form of products of integer quantum Hall wave functions, can be expressed…
The coset construction is the most important tool to construct rational conformal field theories with known chiral data. For some cosets at small level, so-called maverick cosets, the familiar analysis using selection and identification…
We propose a variational method for identifying lattice operators in a critical quantum spin chain with scaling operators in the underlying conformal field theory (CFT). In particular, this allows us to build a lattice version of the…
Does a conformal manifold imply the existence of exactly marginal operators? We answer this question affirmatively under the assumption that there exists a conformal interface with certain properties connecting nearby CFTs. We show that the…
We argue that every CFT contains light-ray operators labeled by a continuous spin J. When J is a positive integer, light-ray operators become integrals of local operators over a null line. However for non-integer J, light-ray operators are…
The rational conformal field theory (RCFT) extensions of W_{1+infinity} at c=1 are in one-to-one correspondence with 1-dimensional integral lattices L(m). Each extension is associated with a pair of oppositely charged ``vertex operators" of…
The possibility of extending the Liouville Conformal Field Theory from values of the central charge $c \geq 25$ to $c \leq 1$ has been debated for many years in condensed matter physics as well as in string theory. It was only recently…
We describe how to implement the conformal bootstrap program in the context of the embedding space OPE formalism introduced in previous work. To take maximal advantage of the known properties of the scalar conformal blocks for…
Non-relativistic conformal field theory describes many-body physics at unitarity. The correlation functions of the system are fixed by the requirement of conformal invariance. In this article, we discuss the correlation functions of scalar…
In this thesis we analyse three aspects of Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). First, we consider correlation functions of descendant states in two-dimensional CFTs. We discuss a recursive formula to calculate them and provide a computer…
We compute in closed analytical form the minimal set of "seed" conformal blocks associated to the exchange of generic mixed symmetry spinor/tensor operators in an arbitrary representation (l,\bar l) of the Lorentz group in four dimensional…
We study the logarithmic conformal field theories in which conformal weights are continuous subset of real numbers. A general relation between the correlators consisting of logarithmic fields and those consisting of ordinary conformal…
We propose a novel approach to study conformal field theories (CFTs) in general dimensions. In the conformal bootstrap program, one usually searches for consistent CFT data that satisfy crossing symmetry. In the new approach, we reverse the…
We study four point correlation functions of the spin 1 operators in the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. The general solution which is everywhere single-valued has logarithmic terms and thus has a natural interpretation in terms of logarithmic…

This manuscript explores the connections between a class of stochastic processes called "Stochastic Loewner Evolution" (SLE) and conformal field theory (CFT). First some important results are recalled which we utilise in the sequel, in…
