Modular data and verlinde formulae for fractional level wzw models i

TL;DR: The modular properties of fractional level sl ˆ (2 ) -theories and the application of the Verlinde formula have a long and checkered history in conformal field theory as discussed by the authors.

Statistical entropy of BTZ black hole in higher curvature gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical entropy of the BTZ black hole in higher curvature gravity is calculated and shown to be equal to the one derived by using the Noether charge method, which suggests that the equivalence of the geometrical and statistical entropies of the black hole is retained in the general diffeomorphism invariant theories of gravity.

Asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions deep inside the black-hole regime

TL;DR: In this paper, an infinite family of smooth asymptotically-flat supergravity solutions that have the same charges and angular momenta as general supersymmetric D1-D5-P black holes, but have no horizon was constructed.

Microscopic derivation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for non-extremal black holes

TL;DR: In this paper, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for four and five dimensional non-supersymmetric black holes was derived by counting microscopic states of the black holes.

Entanglement entropy and higher spin holography in AdS3

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a functional based on the Wilson lines in the bulk Chern-Simons theory that captures the entanglement entropy in the CFTs dual to standard AdS3 gravity, corresponding to SL(2;R)�SL(2,R) gauge group, and admits an immediate generalization to the higher spin case.

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.
