Entanglement Entropy at Large Central Charge
TL;DR: In this paper, a universal formula for the Renyi entropies of N disjoint intervals in the ground state, valid to all orders in a series expansion, was derived.

Universal spectrum of 2d conformal field theory in the large c limit
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a much stronger form of universality holds in theories with a large central charge c and a sparse light spectrum, and that the free energy is universal at all values of the temperature, and the microscopic spectrum matches the Cardy entropy for all c.

Logarithmic corrections to black hole entropy, from the Cardy formula
TL;DR: In this paper, the first-order quantum correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in several models, including those based on asymptotic symmetries, horizon symmetry, and certain string theories, was computed.

Conformal vacua and entropy in de Sitter space
TL;DR: In this article, the de Sitter/conformal field theory (dS/CFT) correspondence is illuminated through an analysis of massive scalar field theory in d-dimensional deSitter space, and a density matrix is constructed by tracing out over modes which are causally inaccessible to a single geodesic observer.

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.
