In turn, Lecture 3 focuses on the radial quantization and the operator product expansion, while Lecture 4 offers a very brief introduction to the conformal bootstrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerived from course-based notes, these lectures are intended as a first point of entry to this topic for Master and PhD students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-10-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319436258\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-43626-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 72\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397007196300,"sku":"9783319436258","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319436258.jpg?v=1775774681","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319436258","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
