Analytic bootstrap in 2D boundary conformal field theory: towards braneworld holography

TL;DR: In this article , boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) have attracted much attention in the context of quantum gravity, and it would be interesting to explore the duality between the boundary and the braneworld.

On the Hagedorn transition and collective dynamics of D0-branes

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the deviations from Boltzmann scaling found in d < 6 noncompact spatial dimensions have a simple explanation in the analysis of self-gravitating random walks due to Horowitz and Polchinski.

Gravitational anomalies and entropy

TL;DR: In this article, a derivation of entropy from the expressions for two dimensional gravitation anomalies is given, starting from the near horizon anomalous energy-momentum tensors corresponding to particular anomalies, the Virasoro algebra with central extension is obtained.

On the Superconformal Index of Argyres-Douglas Theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conjecture a closed-form expression for the Schur limit of the superconformal index of two infinite series of Argyres-Douglas (AD) SCFTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bulk entanglement entropy for photons and gravitons in AdS$_3$.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study quantum corrections to holographic entanglement entropy in AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$; these are given by the bulk entropy across the Ryu-Takayanagi surface for all fields in the effective gravitational theory.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
