Conformal Field Theory on the Planeby Sylvain Ribault - arXiv
We provide an introduction to conformal field theory on the plane in the conformal bootstrap approach. We introduce the bootstrap approach to quantum field theory, and how they apply to two-dimensional theories with local conformal symmetry.

Yang Mills model of interacting particles in the classical field theoryby Jean Claude Dutailly - arXiv
The purpose is to study interacting particles in the General Relativity context, by the principle of least action using purely classical concepts. The particles are described by a state tensor using a Clifford algebra for the kinematic part.
