Abstract

A new object, namely a real weight chiral b–c system, is introduced. It is shown that on the sphere it is equivalent to (the chiral part of) a free boson with a charge at infinity. The charge at infinity acquires a topological meaning. The Coulomb gas prescription to compute correlation functions of conformal minimal models can be implemented in this framework. The main advantage of the b–c system w.r.t. the standard formulation lies on the fact that it can be generalized in a completely straightforward way to study conformal field theories on higher genus Riemann surfaces. Geometrical factors such as curvature and holonomy appears naturally.
