Cardy Formula for 4d SUSY Theories and Localization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a general formula for the limit of the localization integrand, derived by simple effective theory considerations, generalizing the result of arXiv:1512.03376.

Quantum Regge Trajectories and the Virasoro Analytic Bootstrap

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that double-twist data from the Virasoro vacuum module defines a "Virasoro Mean Field Theory" (VMFT), whose spectrum includes a finite number of discrete Regge trajectories whose dimensions obey a simple formula exact in the central charge and external operator dimensions.

Quantum Information and Quantum Black Holes

TL;DR: In particular, the information or entropy in an isolated system is expected to be bounded from above by one quarter the area of a circumscribing surface expressed in Planck units as discussed by the authors.

Sine-square deformation and Mobius quantization of two-dimensional conformal field theory

TL;DR: In this article, a Mobius quantization approach was proposed to bridge the conventional radial quantization and the dipolar quantization for quantum critical systems in 1+1-dimensional conformal field theory.

Charged structure constants from modularity

TL;DR: In this paper, a universal formula for the average heavy-heavy-light structure constants for 2D CFTs with non-vanishing u(1) charge was derived using modular properties of one-point functions on the torus.

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.
