comment Is Bir$(X)$ trivial if there does not exists $Y$ birational to $X$?
@Angelo, Yves You are totally right. In fact the question is not of the form I actually want to solve. Please let me think for a bit to modify my question accordingly.

You are right. Of course I mean birational to $X$ but not isomorphic $X$. I corrected. Thank you for pointing out mistake.

comment The central fiber of this family of surfaces?
It should be $tB-C^2$. Thank you for pointing out the typo.

comment Is $\pi_1(\widetilde{X/G})$ always finite if $\pi_1(X)$ is finite?
Thank you for the nice answer, Francesco. I was a bit surprised to know that my question was not as easy as I had initially expected.

comment Stability of $T_{\mathbb{P}^2}$ and $\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^2}$?
Thank you for the answer, but could you explain a bit more? I don't know why it is enough to check $H^0(T_{\mathbb{P}^2}(-2))=0$. I am not familiar with this field.

Doesn't your example have fixed locus $f=0$?

comment What do correlation functions compute in CFT?
Thank you for the detailed answer providing physic background. I don't fully understand your answer, but now get a feeling about what CFT try to understand.

comment What do correlation functions compute in CFT?
Thank you for the answer, Igor. I am now happy to know that holomorphicity may be interpreted as a field equation. May I ask what the fields $\phi(z)$ and $J(z)$ stands for in this context? Is $\langle0| J(z)J(w)|0\rangle$ the amplitude to observe a particle at $z$ after a particle is created at $w$ or something?

comment What do correlation functions compute in CFT?
@Jeff I would rather want to know the physical interpretation. It would be nice if you could provide an answer. By the way, I don't know if there is any "purely mathematical interpretation" of correlation function.

comment What do correlation functions compute in CFT?
@user1540 My question is a bit vague. I would like to know both the complex coordinates and the physical meaning of $J(z)$, and they must be related. My problem is that I don't have any intuition behind what I am computing.

I don't quite understand what you try to mean in the second comment. I would appreciate it if you could post a bit more detail as an answer.
