Lecture

Conformal Transformations and Stress Tensor

Description

This lecture covers conformal transformations, stress tensor, and correlation functions in conformal field theory. The instructor explains how conformal transformations correspond to rotation and dilatation, and how correlation functions transform under these. The stress tensor is introduced as a conserved and traceless operator, generating conformal symmetries. The lecture also delves into topological operators, unitarity, reflection positivity, and radial quantization in CFTs.
