[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00027.] Owing to the difficulties of the quantization of conformal field theories in four-dimensional space-time, attention has been shifted to models in two-dimensional space-time, as their properties are simpler. Since the degree of divergence is milder than in four dimensions, anomalies are not so severe, conformal symmetry can survive renormalization, and two- dimensional conformal field theories behave as continuum limits of various models in statistical physics being at the same time the support of the string theory. This paper is devoted to the study of two- dimensional conformal transformations, the construction of representations and the conformal dynamics in two-dimensional Minkowski space-time. The role of self-dual fields in representing conformal transformations is stressed.
