Abstract
These features the study of conformal quantum field theories, in dimensions greater than two dimension and very special case of two dimensions. Over the last two decades, the understanding and mathematical formulation of such theories has developed to a very mature state, and conformal field theory (CFT) has in uenced both mathematics and physics. As such, it can be considered a prototype example for a constructive interplay between these two subjects. The main feature of a conformal field theory is the invariance under conformal transformations. We also review the development in the field of entanglement entropy, the holographic aspect of it, and the AdS/CFT conjuncture. Describe the Ruy-Takayangai conjecture of Entanglement Entropy and study the reconstruction of the AdS metric using the same for two different case, which are, 1+1 CFT in Infinite Line, and 1+1 CFT in compact circle.
