The symplectic fermions CFT in domains of the plane
Abstract
We review the basic features of a logarithmic conformal field theory that arise in the context of the scaling limit of lattice models. The theory of interest is the symplectic fermions, whose central charge is [Formula: see text]. We provide an explicit construction of its space of fields as a logarithmic Fock space, and discuss its logarithmic structure as a representation of the Virasoro algebra. The construction of the correlation functions (in simply-connected domains of the plane) is presented following the ideas of the bootstrap approach. The text aims to be accessible to readers with little or no expertise in conformal field theory.
