CFT (Conformal Field Theory)

Conformal Field Theory (CFT) is a branch of theoretical physics that studies systems exhibiting scale invariance—meaning their properties look the same at any size or energy scale. It focuses on quantum fields that maintain their form under transformations that stretch or rotate space, capturing how particles and forces behave at critical points, such as phase transitions. CFT provides powerful mathematical tools to understand complex phenomena in high-energy physics, statistical mechanics, and condensed matter, revealing deep connections between symmetry and the fundamental laws governing the universe.
