Abstract

This is the second of three lectures that will discuss aspects of two-dimensional conformal field theories. After tying up a few loose ends, we will discuss Zamolodchikov recursion, a recursive algorithm to efficiently compute the conformal block. We will also discuss modular symmetry and some of the consequences it has for conformal field theories.
