The main result of this paper is the construction of a conformally covariant operator in two dimensions acting on scalar fields and containing fourth order derivatives. In this way it is possible to derive a class of Lagrangians invariant…
It is known that there are 48 Virasoro algebras acting on the monster conformal field theory. We call conformal field theories with such a property, which are not necessarily chiral, code conformal field theories. In this paper, we…
We introduce a new type of deformation of the chiral symmetry based on the deformation of the Laurent expansion of the conformal energy momentum tensor. Two kinds of solutions of the deformed equations of continuity are worked out. Known…
Liouville field theory on a sphere is considered. We explicitly derive a differential equation for four-point correlation functions with one degenerate field $V_{-\frac{mb}{2}}$. We introduce and study also a class of four-point conformal…
It is shown that in a rational conformal field theory every torus one-point function of a given highest weight state satisfies a modular differential equation. We derive and solve these differential equations explicitly for some Virasoro…
Two different families of abelian chiral gauge theories on the torus are investigated: the aim is to test the consistency of two-dimensional anomalous gauge theories in the presence of global degrees of freedom for the gauge field. An…
Rational conformal field theories produce a tower of finite-dimensional representations of surface mapping class groups, acting on the conformal blocks of the theory. We review this formalism. We show that many recent mathematical…
The aim of this note is to propose an interpretation for the full (non-chiral) correlation functions of the Liouville conformal field theory within the context of the quantization of spaces of Riemann surfaces.
We study examples where conformal invariance implies rational critical indices, triviality of the underlying quantum field theory and emergence of hypergeometric functions as solutions of the field equations.
In this paper we introduce and investigate a new kind of functional (including ordinary and evolutionary partial) differential equations. The main goal of this paper is to explore our new philosophy by some examples on functional ODEs and…
We construct and fully characterize a scalar boundary conformal field theory on a triangulated Riemann surface. The results are analyzed from a string theory perspective as tools to deal with open/closed string dualities.
This paper deals with classical solutions of the modified chiral model on $R^{2+1}$. Such solutions are shown to correspond to products of various factor which we call time-dependent unitons. Then the problem of solving the system of…

In this paper we study about the existence of solutions of certain kind of non-linear differential and differential-difference equations. We give partial answer to a problem which was asked by chen et al. in [13].
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…
In this paper we consider the coupled system given by the first variation of the conformal Dirac-Einstein functional. We will show existence of solutions by means of perturbation methods.
In this work we state a Theorem on number theory and apply it to solve some ordinary and partial differential equations.
This talk reports on the status of an approach to the numerical study of isolated systems with the conformal field equations. We first describe the algorithms used in a code which has been developed at AEI in the last years, and discuss a…
