Critical behavior of the two-dimensional random q-state Potts model by expansion in ( q - 2)

TL;DR: In this article, the specific heat singularity of the 2D q-state Potts model with weak quenched bond randomness is obtained to two-loop order in an expansion in the parameter ( q − 2) around the Ising model, in analogy to the e-expansion for φ 4 scalar field theory around the gaussian model.

Entanglement entropy in flat holography

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a holographic calculation of entanglement entropy and Renyi entropy in three dimensional Einstein gravity and Topologically Massive Gravity, and apply it for BMS invariant field theories, and finally extend the calculation to the bulk.

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.
