As a part of the , Professor Antti Kupiainen (University of Helsinki) will give a talk titled . The talk will take place in Zoom at 2.30-3.30 pm (Finland time) on November the 7th.

Abstract: 
Quantum Field Theories (QFT) provide the basic theoretical framework for both high energy and condensed matter physics. A special role in QFT is played by Conformal Field Theories (CFT) which are believed to describe QFTs in the limits of small and large length scales. CFTs have special symmetries leading to a rich mathematical structure. However, a rigorous mathematical foundation for CFT is still lacking. In this talk I’ll discuss a probabilistic approach to two dimensional CFT based on Gaussian Free Field and Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos. I will explain how the probabilistic approach leads to construction and complete solution of Liouville CFT which plays a central role in the theory of random surfaces and how these constructions could be extended to other CFTs. No background in QFT is assumed
