Entanglement entropy of extremal BTZ black holes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used entanglement entropy as a tool to explore the universal properties of conformal field theories (CFTs) dual to extremal BTZ black holes.

Kähler geometry of the space of N=2 superconformal field theories

TL;DR: The moduli space of superconformal field theories with integral U(1) charges is studied in this article, where it is shown that M is Kahler and that the Kahler potential is the norm of the unique top weight right-chiral primary state.

Holographic duals of large- c torus conformal blocks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied CFT2 conformal blocks on a torus and their holographic realization and developed various techniques to calculate both quantum and classical conformal block functions.

Horizon constraints and black hole entropy

Steven Carlip
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the imposition of a spacelike "stretched horizon" constraint modifies the algebra of symmetries, inducing a central term for black-hole entropy.

AdS_2 Supergravity and Superconformal Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotic dynamics of topological anti-de Sitter supergravity in two dimensions were investigated, and it was shown that the AdS_2 boundary conditions imply that the symmetries form a super-Virasoro algebra.

Infinite Conformal Symmetry in Two-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an investigation of the massless, two-dimentional, interacting field theories and their invariance under an infinite-dimensional group of conformal transformations.

The Heterotic String

TL;DR: A new type of superstring theory is constructed as a chiral combination of the closed D=26 bosonic and D=10 fermionic strings, which is supersymmetric, Lorentz invariant, and free of tachyons.

Finite size scaling analysis of Ising model block distribution functions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the distribution function P L ( s ) of the local order parameters in finite blocks of linear dimension L for Ising lattices of dimension d = 2,3 and 4.

Conformal invariance, the central charge, and universal finite-size amplitudes at criticality.

TL;DR: It is shown that for conformally invariant two-dimensional systems, the amplitude of the finite-size corrections to the free energy of an infinitely long strip of width L at criticality is linearly related to the conformal anomaly number c, for various boundary conditions.
