Conformal may refer to:
  • Conformal map
    Conformal map
    In mathematics, a conformal map is a function which preserves angles. In the most common case the function is between domains in the complex plane.More formally, a map,...

  • Conformal geometry
    Conformal geometry
    In mathematics, conformal geometry is the study of the set of angle-preserving transformations on a space. In two real dimensions, conformal geometry is precisely the geometry of Riemann surfaces...

  • Conformal map projection, in cartography
  • Conformal film
    Conformal film
    A conformal film defines a morphologically uneven interface with another body and has a thickness that is the same everywhere along the interface. This is undoubtedly an idealization and may be used for abstract or theoretical purposes...

  • Conformal coating
    Conformal coating
    Conformal coating material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that, if uncoated , could result in damage or failure of the electronics to function...

  • Conformal hypergraph, in mathematics
  • Conformal field theory
    Conformal field theory
    A conformal field theory is a quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal transformations...

     in physics, such as:
    • Boundary conformal field theory
      Boundary conformal field theory
      In theoretical physics, boundary conformal field theory is a conformal field theory defined on a spacetime with a boundary . Different kinds of boundary conditions for the fields may be imposed on the fundamental fields; for example, Neumann boundary condition or Dirichlet boundary condition is...

    • Coset conformal field theory
      Coset conformal field theory
      In theoretical physics, a coset conformal field theory is a conformal field theory that describes the degrees of freedom not included in a smaller conformal field theory H but included in a bigger conformal field theory G...

    • Irrational conformal field theory
      Irrational conformal field theory
      In theoretical physics, irrational conformal field theory is a conformal field theory that is not a rational conformal field theory. It means that the conformal weights of its primary fields and the central charge are irrational numbers which makes the theory harder to solve and understand....

    • Logarithmic conformal field theory
      Logarithmic conformal field theory
      In theoretical physics, a logarithmic conformal field theory is a generalization of the concept of conformal field theory in which the correlators of the basic fields are allowed to be multiply valued and be functions of the logarithm of the separation of the operators.-References:* V. Gurarie, ,...

    • Rational conformal field theory
      Rational conformal field theory
      In theoretical physics, rational conformal field theory is a special type of conformal field theory with a finite number of conformal primaries. In these theories, all dimensions are rational numbers that can be computed from the consistency conditions of conformal field theory. The most famous...
