W algebras and coset models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define a W-algebra as a special class of meromorphic conformal field theory, and show that there are closed Walgebraic structures in coset models of the form g 1 n × g k n / g k+1 n based on the simple Lie algebras An, Bn, Dn and En, for sufficiently high values of k.

Magnetic and Critical Properties of Alternating Spin Chain with S=1/2, 1 in Magnetic Fields.
TL;DR: In this article, an integrable spin chain with an alternating array of spins S = 1/2, 1 in external magnetic fields using the Bethe ansatz exact solution was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizons, constraints, and black hole entropy
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the notion of a "stretched horizon" constraint modifies the algebra of symmetries at the horizon, allowing the use of standard conformal field theory techniques to determine the asymptotic density of states.

Operator approach to conformal invariant quantum field theories and related problems
TL;DR: In this article, the use of covering transformations leads to a global decomposition theory in which the basic building blocks are nonlocal quantum fields which live on each light cone separately, and as an application of the new formalism arbitrary order-disorder mixed n -point functions of the Ising field theory are explicitly calculated.

Logarithmic bulk and boundary conformal field theory and the full centre construction
TL;DR: In this paper, the notion of a maximal bulk theory which can be non-degenerately joined to a boundary theory is defined, and the purpose of this construction is to obtain the more complicated bulk theories from simpler boundary theories.

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.
