How to map a complex plane Mobius transformation to 1+1D Minkowski real plane?
So consider the $(x,t)$ plane endowed with the minkowski metric, namely:
$$ds^2 = dx^2-dt^2.$$
It is well known that we can Wick rotate the time coordinate to get to the Euclidean metric. This can be ...

Is the conformal group in $2+0$D isomorphic to the Lorentz group $SO(3,1)$ in $3+1$D?
In the Wikipedia article on conformal field theory, it is said the following:
The conformal group is locally isomorphic to $SO(1,d+1)$ (Euclidean)
or $SO(2,d)$ (Minkowski).
Does that mean that the ...
