In conformal geometry, a conformal Killing vector field on a manifold of dimension n with (pseudo) Riemannian metric (also called a conformal Killing vector, CKV, or conformal colineation), is a vector field whose (locally defined) flow defines conformal transformations, that is, preserve up to scale and preserve the conformal structure. Several equivalent formulations, called the conformal Killing equation, exist in terms of the Lie derivative of the flow e.g. for some function on the manifold. For there are a finite number of solutions, specifying the conformal symmetry of that space, but in two dimensions, there is an infinity of solutions. The name Killing refers to Wilhelm Killing, who first investigated Killing vector fields. (Wikipedia).
Conformal Field Theory (CFT) | Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations
Conformal field theories are used in many areas of physics, from condensed matter physics, to statistical physics to string theory. They are defined as quantum field theories that are invariant under so-called conformal transformations. In this video, we will investigate these conformal tr

Conformal Field Theory (CFT) | More on Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations
Conformal field theories are quantum field theories that are invariant under so-called conformal transformations. In this video, we will investigate these conformal transformations in three or more dimensions. More information and details can be found in the excellent book "Introduction

Thomas Backdahl - Symmetry operators, conserved currents and energy momentum tensors
Conserved quantities, for example energy and momentum, play a fundamental role in the analysis of dynamics of particles and fields. For field equations, one manifestation of conserved quantities in a broad sense is the existence of symmetry operators, i.e. linear differential operators whi
