Free partition functions and an averaged holographic duality

TL;DR: In this paper, the torus partition functions of free bosonic CFTs in two dimensions were studied and it was shown that an averaged free CFT in 2D is holographically dual to an exotic theory of three-dimensional gravity with U(1)c ×U( 1)c symmetry and a composite boundary graviton.

Fractional statistics in one dimension: view from an exactly solvable model

TL;DR: In this article, the Calogero-Sutherland model was used to construct a low-energy one-dimensional anyon model, and its correlation functions were found to be in agreement with those in the CSM, and this agreement provided an evidence for the equivalence of the first-and second-quantized construction of the 1D anyone model at least in the longwavelength limit.

Modular Invariance and the Fusion Algebra

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the existence of off-diagonal modular invariant partition functions imply a non-trivial automorphism of the fusion algebra, which is illustrated using the SU(2) affine models.

On the spectrum of 2D conformal field theories

TL;DR: In this article, a connection that is found between the Virasoro and SU(2) Kac-Moody characters is used to generate unitary statistical models from the SU (2) theories.

Form factor approach to dynamical correlation functions in critical models

TL;DR: In this paper, a form factor approach to the study of dynamical correlation functions of quantum integrable models in the critical regime was developed, based on a first principles derivation, without invoking, at any stage, any correspondence with a continuous field 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.

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.
