Abstract: We will introduce conformal field theory in two dimensions, from the basic principles to some of the simplest models. From the representations of the Virasoro algebra on the one hand, and the state-field correspondence on the other hand, we will deduce Ward identities and Belavin-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov equations for correlation functions. We will then explain the principles of the conformal bootstrap method, and introduce conformal blocks. This allows us to define and solve minimal models and Liouville theory. We will also introduce the free boson with its abelian affine Lie algebra.
