Irrational Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Physics Reports, 1995
This is a review of irrational conformal field theory, which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Central topics of the review include the Virasoro master equation, its solutions and the dynamics of irrational conformal field ...

Spinons in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B, 1994
We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory and the ...

Axiomatic Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1998
A new rigorous approach to conformal field theory is presented. The basic objects are families of complex-valued amplitudes, which define a meromorphic conformal field theory (or chiral algebra) and which lead naturally to the definition of topological ...

Decoherence in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Noise sources are ubiquitous in Nature and give rise to a description of quantum systems in terms of stochastic Hamiltonians. Decoherence dominates the noise-averaged dynamics and leads to dephasing and the decay of coherences in the eigenbasis of the ...

Defects in conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016
A bstractWe discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of symmetric traceless tensors in the presence of the defect.

Open Descendants in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Fortschritte der Physik/Progress of Physics, 1996
Open descendants extend Conformal Field Theory to unoriented surfaces with boundaries. The construction rests on two types of generalizations of the fusion algebra. The first is needed even in the relatively simple case of diagonal models.

ALE manifolds and Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1993
We address the problem of constructing the family of (4,4) theories associated with the sigma-model on a parametrized family ${\cal M}_{\zeta}$ of Asymptotically Locally Euclidean (ALE) manifolds.

Entanglement entropy and conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2009
We review the conformal field theory approach to entanglement entropy in 1+1 dimensions. We show how to apply these methods to the calculation of the entanglement entropy of a single interval, and the generalization to different situations such as finite

On marginal operators in boundary conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension ∆ equal to the space-time dimension d ...

Discreteness and integrality in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Various observables in compact CFTs are required to obey positivity, discreteness, and integrality. Positivity forms the crux of the conformal bootstrap, but understanding of the abstract implications of discreteness and integrality for the space of CFTs
