Conformal Dimensions

Conformal dimensions are values used in physics and mathematics to describe how certain objects or fields change when space is stretched or scaled without altering angles—this is called conformal transformation. They help characterize the intrinsic properties of physical systems, such as fields in quantum theories, by indicating how their measurements scale with size. Essentially, conformal dimensions tell us how a quantity behaves under transformations that preserve shapes but not sizes, providing insight into the underlying symmetry and structure of the system.
