Abstract:
A review of the recent results concerning the kinematics of conformal fields, the analysis of dynamical equations and dynamical
derivation of the operator product expansion is given.
The classification and transformational properties of fields which are transformed according to the representations ofthe universal
covering group of the conformal group have been considered. A derivation of the partial wave expansion of Wightman functions is
given. The analytical continuation to the Euclidean domain of coordinates is discussed. As shown, in the Euclidean space the partial
wave expansion can be applied either to one-particle irreducible vertices or to the Green functions, depending on the dimensions of
the fields.
The structure of Green functions, which contain a conserved current and the energy-momentum tensor, has been studied. Their
partial wave expansion has been obtained. A solution of the Ward identity has been found. Special cases are discussed.
The program of the construction of exact solution of dynamicalequations is discussed. It is shown, that integral dynamical equations
for vertices (or Green’s functions) can be diagonalized by means of the partial wave expansion. The general solution ofthese equations
is obtained. The equations
