alpha'-corrections and heterotic black holes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some recent results on alpha-exact calculations of the entropy and near-horizon geometry of black holes in heterotic string theory, and present a theoretical analysis of these results.

Entropy of Killing horizons from Virasoro algebra in D-dimensional extended Gauss-Bonnet gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors treated D-dimensional black holes with Killing horizon for extended Gauss-Bonnet gravity and used Carlip method and impose boundary conditions on horizon what enables them to identify Virasoro algebra and evaluate its central charge and Hamiltonian eigenvalue.

Cardy Formulae for SUSY Theories in d=4 and d=6

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider supersymmetric theories on a space with compact space-like slices and show that the high temperature asymptotics of such counting problems are fixed by the anomalies of the theory.

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.
