This book is a set of introductory lecture notes on Conformal Field Theory (CFT). Unlike most existing reviews on the subject CFT is presented here from the perspective of a unitary quantum field theory in Minkowski space-time. The book starts with a non-perturbative formulation of quantum field theory (Wightman axioms) and then gradually focuses on the implications of scale and special conformal symmetry all the way to the modern conformal bootstrap. This approach includes topics such as subtleties of conformal transformations in Minkowski space-time the construction of Wightman functions and time-ordered correlators both in position- and momentum-space unitarity bounds derived from the spectral representation and the appearance of UV and IR divergences. In each chapter the reader finds useful exercises to master the subject. This book is meant for graduate students in theoretical physics and for more advanced researchers working in high-energy physics who are not necessarily familiar with the concepts of conformal field theory. Prior knowledge of quantum field theory is needed to master the arguments.
