Mathematicians prove symmetry of phase transitions at critical moments Jul 20211 comment
- Conformally symmetric critical systems are often, though not always, studied by modeling them by conformal field theories, which do involve an action obeying a conformal symmetry. A good reference about conformal field theories is any book or paper by John Cardy who is…
