Long-distance asymptotics of spin–spin correlation functions for the XXZ spin chain

TL;DR: In this article, asymptotic expansions of spin-spin correlation functions for the XXZ Heisenberg chain in the critical regime were studied and correlation amplitudes for the leading and main sub-leading terms were determined.

$$ T\overline{T} $$ deformed partition functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the presence of modular properties in partition functions of deformed conformal field theories and show that these properties facilitate derivation of the asymptotic density of states in these theories.

Finite-size effects in a non-half-filled Hubbard chain

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the finite-size corrections in the spectrum of a Hubbard chain are nonanalytic unless some conditions are imposed on the chemical potential, magnetic field and chain length.

Poincare Series, 3D Gravity and CFT Spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed modular invariant CFT partition functions with positive spectrum and gaps of size (c − 1)/12, proving that gaps of this size and smaller are consistent with modular invariance.

Character expansion for HOMFLY polynomials. II. Fundamental representation. Up to five strands in braid

TL;DR: Character expansion is introduced and explicitly constructed for the (non-colored) HOMFLY polynomials of the simplest knots in this paper, and a hidden hierarchical structure of expansion coefficients, which allows one to express all of them through extremely simple elementary constituents.

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.
