  6. Introduction Effective action from classical scale invariance Quantum analysis Why are we here? Conformal fjeld theories are hard Most conformal fjeld theories (CFTs) lack nice limits where they become simple and solvable. No parameter of the theory can be dialed to a simplifying limit . dimension and OPE coeffjcients simplify. IDEA: study subsectors of the theory with fjxed quantum number Q . expansion. Domenico Orlando Attacking strong coupling with large charge There are sometimes sectors of the theory where anomalous Typically this happens in presence of a symmetry . A large Q becomes the controlling parameter in a perturbative
