Microscopic Origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy
Andrew Strominger,Cumrun Vafa +1 more
TL;DR: The Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy relation for extremal black holes in string theory was derived in this paper by counting the degeneracy of BPS soliton bound states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boundary conditions, fusion rules and the Verlinde formula
TL;DR: In this article, the Verlinde formula is derived from the partition function of a conformal field theory in an annulus, and a simple derivation of the vertex formula is given.

Anti-de Sitter Space, Thermal Phase Transition, And Confinement In Gauge Theories
TL;DR: The correspondence between supergravity and string theory on $AdS$ space and boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamic properties of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modular invariance of characters of vertex operator algebras
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the characters of the integrable highest weight modules of affine Lie algebras and the minimal series of the Virasoro algebra give rise to conformal field theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-dimensional Fermi liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the progress in the theory of one-dimensional (ID) Fermi liquids which has occurred over the past decade and present a description of the low-energy properties of gapless 1D quantum systems can be based on the exactly solvable Luttinger model which incorporates these features, and whose correlation functions can be calculated.

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.
