Logarithmic conformal field theory

Logarithmic conformal field theory is a type of mathematical theory that uses equations to study the behavior of physical systems. To understand it, we can think about a field or area of land with hills and valleys. The bigger the hill, the bigger "number" it has. The bigger the valley, the smaller number. Conformal field theory helps us to understand how different hills and valleys in the "field" affect each other. Logarithmic conformal field theory lets us take this idea one step further by letting us see how changes in one hill or valley can cause changes in other hills or valleys. It's a way to help us understand how physical systems work together.
