Conformal field theory with periodic time
摘要
It is shown that time-ordered correlation functions of a unitary CFT2 in 2D Minkowski space admit a single-valued, conformally-invariant extension to the Lorentzian signature torus provided that the S1 × S1 spatial and temporal radii are equal. The result extends to Lorentzian CFTD on equal-radii SD−1 × S1 under the assumption that branch cuts occur only when a pair of operator insertions are null separated.
