Logarithmic conformal field theory

Logarithmic conformal field theory

In theoretical physics, a logarithmic conformal field theory is a generalization of the concept of (usually two-dimensional) conformal field theory in which the correlators of the basic fields are allowed to be multiply-valued and be functions of the logarithm of the separation of the operators.
