Conformal field theory has been extremely successful in predicting the exact values of critical exponents describing the behavior of two-dimensional systems from statistical physics. In particular, in the fundamental papers [5, 6], which were used and extended to the case of the “surface geometry ” in [9], it is argued that there is a
