Abstract
It is well known that conformal field theories are governed by their tight algebraic structures. Central charge of a conformal theory and dimension of its fields are dictated by the representation theory of Virasoro algebra [1, 2]. Furthermore, irreducibility of a representation, decoupling of null states, leads to differential equations for correlation functions [1]. These equations have been used to determine operator-product expansion coefficients [3, 4].
