As Scales Become Separated: Lectures on Effective Field Theory
by Timothy Cohen
Publisher: arXiv.org 2019
Number of pages: 183
Description:
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of S-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical scales is emphasized.

Conformal Field Theory on the Plane
by Sylvain Ribault - arXiv
We provide an introduction to conformal field theory on the plane in the conformal bootstrap approach. We introduce the bootstrap approach to quantum field theory, and how they apply to two-dimensional theories with local conformal symmetry.

An Introduction to Conformal Field Theory
by Matthias R Gaberdiel - arXiv
A comprehensive introduction to two-dimensional conformal field theory is given. Conformal field theories have been at the center of attention during the last fifteen years since they are relevant for different areas of modern theoretical physics.
