Moving the CFT into the bulk with $T\bar T$

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that in the holographic dual, this deformation represents a geometric cutoff that removes the asymptotic region of AdS and places the QFT on a Dirichlet wall at finite radial distance.

Closed superstring field theory and its applications

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in the construction of heterotic and type-II string field theories and their various applications is presented, including systematic procedures for determining the shifts in the vacuum expectation values of fields under quantum corrections, computing renormalized masses and S-matrix of the theory around the shifted vacuum and a proof of unitarity of the Smatrix.

Bonus symmetry in conformal field theory

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a primary field with a fusion rule with only the identity on the r.h.s. can simplify the analysis of a theory by linking representations that would appear independent based on considerations of the smaller symmetry of the chiral algebra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extremal limits and black hole entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, the extremal limit of a non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is studied and the region between the inner and outer event horizons experiences an interesting fate.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 4d N=1 Cardy Formula

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of the modified superconformal index for 4d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ gauge theory and showed that the high temperature limit of the index can be written in terms of conformal anomalies.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
