BMS modular diaries: torus one-point function

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the modular properties of the torus one-point function of the BMS torus and derived the leading and sub-leading pieces of the Torus torus block, which they then used to derive the asymptotic structure constants for BMS primaries.

Three dimensional rotating hairy black holes, asymptotics and thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a rotating hairy black hole solution is found in gravity minimally coupled to a self-interacting real scalar field in three spacetime dimensions, and the horizon structure is analyzed analytically.

A New Formulation of String Theory

Daniel Friedan
- 01 Jan 1987 - 
TL;DR: Quantum string theory is written as integrable analytic geometry on the universal moduli space of Riemann surfaces as mentioned in this paper, and it can be seen as a special case of analytic geometry.

Emergent gravity in a holographic universe

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated thermodynamic, emergent and holographic aspects of gravity in the context of causal diamonds and obtained a gravitational first law for causal diamonds in maximally symmetric spacetimes and argued that these diamonds are in thermodynamic equilibrium at negative temperature.

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.
