Explicit Examples of Conformal Invariance
- Mathematics
- 2001
We study examples where conformal invariance implies rational critical indices, triviality of the underlying quantum field theory, and emergence of hypergeometric functions as solutions of the field…
Infinite dimensional lie algebras in conformal QFT models
- Mathematics
- 1986
The “minimal theories” of critical behaviour in two dimensions of Belavin, Polyakov and Zamolodchikov are reviewed. Conformally invariant operator product expansions (OPEs) are written down in terms…
Conformal invariance and non-universality in quantum spin chains with a defect
- Physics
- 1986
The authors study quantum analogues of two-dimensional Ising models with a linear defect. Conformal invariance and scaling arguments are used to relate the exponent eta * (of the time correlation…
