Quantum phase transitions and thermodynamics of quantum antiferromagnets with next-nearest-neighbor couplings

TL;DR: In this article, the ground-state phase diagram is constructed as a function of the next-nearest-neighbor couplings and an external magnetic field, and the results for the magnetic susceptibility and the Sommerfeld coefficient of the specific heat are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superconformal field theory with modular invariance on a torus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied N = 1 superconformal field theory in the degenerate and unitary representation on a torus which is invariant under the modular group and its subgroup.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equivalence of Emergent de Sitter Spaces from Conformal Field Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the kinematic space of geodesics on a space-like slice of the asymptotically anti-de Sitter bulk is two-dimensional de Sitter space (dS2), with a metric derived from the entanglement entropy of intervals in the CFT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fate of three-dimensional black holes coupled to a scalar field and the Bekenstein–Hawking entropy

TL;DR: It is shown that, by a careful treatment of the vacuum state in the canonical ensemble with a fixed temperature, the BH entropy may be exactly produced by the Cardy's formula.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fate of black holes in an accelerating universe

TL;DR: In this paper, Babichev, Dokuchaev and Eroshenko have shown that accretion of phantom energy onto a black hole induces a gradual decrease of the black hole mass, and that masses of all possible black holes tend to zero as a result of this process as the universe approaches the big rip singularity.

Phase Transitions and Critical Phenomena

TL;DR: The field of phase transitions and critical phenomena continues to be active in research, producing a steady stream of interesting and fruitful results as discussed by the authors, and the major aim of this serial is to provide review articles that can serve as standard references for research workers in the field.

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.
