quantum field theory in two dimensions invariant under the infinite-dimensional conformal algebra, solvable through operator algebras and null states.

In mathematical physics, two-dimensional conformal field theory refers to quantum field theory in two dimensions invariant under the infinite-dimensional conformal algebra, solvable through operator algebras and null states. This meaning comes from Belavin (1984) in Nuclear Physics B.[1]
