A two-dimensional conformal field theory is a quantum field theory on a Euclidean two-dimensional space, that is invariant under local conformal transformations.

Unit disk
In mathematics, the open unit disk (or disc) around P (where P is a given point in the plane), is the set of points whose distance from P is less than 1: The closed unit disk around P is the set of points whose distance from P is less than or equal to one: Unit disks are special cases of disks and unit balls; as such, they contain the interior of the unit circle and, in the case of the closed unit disk, the unit circle itself.

Upper half-plane
In mathematics, the upper half-plane H is the set of complex numbers with positive imaginary part: The term arises from a common visualization of the complex number x + iy as the point (x,y) in the plane endowed with Cartesian coordinates.
