Polynomial equations for rational conformal field theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the duality matrices satisfy a finite number of independent polynomial equations, which imply constraints on monodromies allowed in rational conformal field theories.

Jerusalem Lectures on Black Holes and Quantum Information

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an introduction to the quantum physics of black holes, including recent developments based on quantum information theory such as the rewall paradox and its various cousins, focusing on those aspects which are relevant for the black hole information problem.

Surface exponents of the quantum XXZ, Ashkin-Teller and Potts models

TL;DR: In this article, the conformal anomaly and surface exponents of the critical quantum Ashkin-Teller and Potts chains are calculated by exploiting their relations with the mass gap amplitudes as predicted by conformal invariance.

Universality of Long-Distance AdS Physics from the CFT Bootstrap

TL;DR: In this article, a recent proof of the cluster decomposition principle in AdS�4 from the CFT�3 bootstrap is presented, which requires knowledge of the Virasoro conformal blocks in a lightcone OPE limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving the CFT into the bulk with $$ T\overline{T} $$

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed 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 r = rc in the bulk.

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.
