Operator dimensions and surface exponents for the non-linear Schrodinger model at T=0

A Berkovich, +1 more
- 07 Oct 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the Euler-Maclaurin formula is used to compute finite-size corrections to the ground and excited-state energies and momenta of the ground-state energy functions, which enables them to obtain all possible operator scaling dimensions at the critical point (T = 0) and surface exponents for a variety of boundary conditions.

On Horizonless Temperature with an Accelerating Mirror

TL;DR: In this article, a new solution of a unitary moving mirror was found to produce finite energy and emit thermal radiation despite the absence of an acceleration horizon, which corresponds to a black hole formed from the collapse of a null shell.

Wormholes and spectral statistics in the Narain ensemble

TL;DR: In this paper , the spectral statistics of primary operators in the recently formulated ensemble average of Narain's family of free boson conformal field theories were studied, which provides an explicit (though exotic) example of an averaged holographic duality.

Thermodynamics and conformal properties of XXZ chains with alternating spins

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of the related R-matrix and Hamiltonians are discussed and a compact expression for the ground-state energy is obtained via the finite-size computations and also by means of the Bethe ansatz method.
Journal ArticleDOI

2D black holes, conformal vacua and CFTs on the cylinder

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate two-dimensional dilaton gravity models with a power-law dilaton potential, whose black hole solutions contain, among others, the dimensional reduction of the Schwarzschild black hole, the anti-de Sitter black hole and Rindler spacetime.

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.
