| Dec 28, 2012 at 12:46 | comment | added | Kelly Davis | @Muon I would say a "purely mathematical" interpretation of correlation functions can be given, moments of the partition function. | |

| Dec 28, 2012 at 2:48 | comment | added | user2013 | @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. | |
| Dec 28, 2012 at 2:45 | comment | added | user2013 | @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. | |
| Dec 28, 2012 at 2:36 | comment | added | Jeff Harvey | Or are you asking about a purely mathematical interpretation of the correlation functions, which is how I read your question? | |
| Dec 28, 2012 at 1:10 | comment | added | user1504 | Are you asking for the physical meaning of the complex coordinates (the question Igor answered) or are you asking about the physical meaning of the states created by the $J(x)$ operators? | |
