CFT fixed point

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, CFT fixed point has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Simons Foundation (Jan 2026). Fixed points in CFT are central to the discussion of how conformal windows can end.

In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string acts like a particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. In string theory, one of the many vibrational states of the string
