TL;DR: In this article, an integral equation for renormalisation group flows between conformal field theories and into a massive phase is proposed, and some properties of their solutions are discussed.

Holography in three-dimensional Kerr–de Sitter space with a gravitational Chern–Simons term

TL;DR: In this paper, the cosmological horizon of the three-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter space with a gravitational Chern?Simons term is studied, in the context of dS/CFT correspondence.

Modular Invariance, Lattice Field Theories, and Finite Size Corrections

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained the exact partition function for a lattice Gaussian model where the site degrees of freedom are sections of aU(1) bundle over a triangular lattice which globally forms a torus, with three independent nearest neighbour interactions in the different lattice directions.

Addition of torsion to chiral gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, a special point of the Chern-Simons theory, at which one of the central charges vanishes, is compared with the chiral point of topologically massive gravity.

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.

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.
