Explore advanced concepts in theoretical physics through this seminar examining long-range Virasoro minimal models. Delve into the mathematical framework of conformal field theory as Dr. Connor Behan from the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics presents cutting-edge research on these fundamental structures in quantum field theory. Learn about the properties and applications of Virasoro algebras in the context of minimal models, with particular focus on long-range interactions and their implications for boundary conditions, impurities, and defects in quantum systems. Gain insights into the mathematical techniques used to analyze these models and their relevance to broader questions in theoretical physics, including string theory and statistical mechanics. The presentation covers both foundational concepts and recent developments in the field, making it valuable for researchers and advanced students working in mathematical physics, conformal field theory, and related areas of theoretical physics.
