Funded Activity Summary

The Algebraic Structure of Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory. Conformal field theory has given rise to a myriad of deep connections between physics and mathematics. Recently a generalisation of conformal field theory, called logarithmic conformal field theory, has garnered a lot of interest. These theories are necessary for understanding condensed matter systems with non-local observables such as percolation or polymers and for string theory on super group manifolds. This project will explore the algebraic structure of logarithmic conformal field theory. Expected outcomes include an improved understanding of how to systematically construct and solve logarithmic theories and will further consolidate Australia's reputation as an international centre for logarithmic conformal field theory.
