TLDR
The universal singular free energy per correlation volume fs2 is equal to -(c12)(2-)(1-)-1, where c is the central charge of the theory at criticality, is the usual specific-heat exponent, and is defined (for >0) in terms of the second moment of the energy correlations.
Abstract
For a general isotropic two-dimensional theory near criticality, the universal singular free energy per correlation volume ${f}_{s}{\ensuremath{\xi}}^{2}$ is equal to $\ensuremath{-}(\frac{c}{12}\ensuremath{\pi})(2\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}){(1\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha})}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, where $c$ is the central charge of the theory at criticality, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is the usual specific-heat exponent, and $\ensuremath{\xi}$ is defined (for $\ensuremath{\alpha}g0$) in terms of the second moment of the energy correlations. Some generalizations of this result are also noted.

c-theorem and spectral representation

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral representation of the stress tensor is used to generalize the Zamolodchikov's c-theorem above two space-time dimensions, and a meaningful charge is obtained by defining the theory on curved hyperbolic space.

Off critical statistical models: Factorized scattering theories and bootstrap program

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze those integrable statistical systems which originate from some relevant perturbations of the minimal models of conformal field theories and show that the central charge of the original conformal theories can be recovered from the scattering data.

Derivation of a four dimensional c-theorem for renormaliseable quantum field theories

Hugh Osborn
- 11 May 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a derivation of Zamolodchikov's c-theorem for general renormaliseable two-dimensional and four-dimensional field theories in perturbation theory is given by considering such theories to be defined on a general curved space and with arbitrary x dependent couplings.

Form factors for integrable lagrangian field theories, the sinh-Gordon model

TL;DR: In this paper, the form factors of the elementary field and the stress energy tensor of two-dimensional integrable models were derived from the recursive equations satisfied by matrix elements of local operators in two-dimensions integrability models.

Form factors in finite volume II: Disconnected terms and finite temperature correlators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered form factors of integrable quantum field theories in finite volume, and extended their investigation to matrix elements with disconnected pieces, and gave a new method for generating a low temperature expansion, which they test for the one point function up to third order.
