Description
In these two lectures we discussed an elementary introduction to the conformal or Virasoro algebra in the description of critical systems in statistical mechanics following the classic work of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov. The ising model was discussed in detail. (author). 3 refs. (abstract only)
