The Polyakov formula is a key result in theoretical physics, particularly in the context of string theory and two-dimensional conformal field theory. It relates to the calculation of the partition function of a two-dimensional conformal field theory on a surface with a given metric. In essence, the Polyakov formula provides a way to compute the partition function of a two-dimensional quantum field theory defined on a surface of arbitrary geometry.
