Conformal correlator systems

Abstract

In critical limits of statistical models, there exist non-local correlators that are conformally covariant without belonging to a conformal field theory. To describe such correlators, we define conformal correlator systems, whose axioms are weaker than those of CFT. As a result, N-point correlators are determined by $4$-point correlators, instead of $3$-point correlators in CFT. In two dimensions, conformal spins may take arbitrary complex values, leading to correlators with nontrivial monodromies. We show that sphere $4$-point correlators and torus $1$-point correlators obey nontrivial monodromy constraints. We construct correlators with abelian monodromies in free bosonic theories and in critical loop models.
