The Cardy–Verlinde formula and topological AdS–Schwarzschild black holes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the brane universe in the background of the topological AdS-Schwarzschild black holes and proposed the modified Cardy-Verlinde formula which is valid for any values of the curvature parameter k in the Friedmann equations.

Black hole entropy from classical Liouville theory
A. Giacomini,Nicola Pinamonti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compute the black hole entropy by finding a classical central charge of the Virasoro algebra of a Liouville theory using the Cardy formula, which is done by performing a dimensional reduction of the Einstein Hilbert action with the ansatz of spherical symmetry and writing the metric in conformally flat form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals and the recursion formula for conformal blocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the computation of the entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in a (1+1) dimensional conformal field theory by conformal block expansion of the 4-point correlation function of twist fields.

Entropy of Quantum Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, an equivalent formulation of the horizon degrees of freedom in terms of a U(1) gauge theory is presented, which is just a gauged fixed version of the SU(2) theory.

Closed Superstring Field Theory and its Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the S-matrix of the theory around the shifted vacuum is computed for the case when the number of non-compact space-time dimensions is 4 or less.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
