 Chiral conformal field theories are mathematical objects which are related to but distinct from two-dimensional conformal field theories. They transform under a single copy of the [[Virasoro algebra]] $\mathcal{V}$ and depend on $z$ but not $\bar z$. Notable examples include bosons compactified on any self-dual Euclidean lattice, and the [[Monster CFT]].  Chiral conformal field theories are mathematical objects which are related to but distinct from two-dimensional conformal field theories.
