Strings , Black Holes and Conformal Field Theory ⋆
The SL(2,IR)/U(1) gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model is an exact conformal field theory describing a black hole in two-dimensional space-time. The free field approach of Bershadsky and Kutasov is a suitable formulation of this CFT in order to compute physically interesting quantities of this black hole. We find the space-time interpretation of this model for k = 9/4 and show that it reproduces the...
متن کاملGravitational Axial Anomaly for Four Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
We construct the three point function involving an axial vector current and two energymomentum tensors for four dimensional conformal field theories. Conformal symmetry determines the form of this three point function uniquely up to a constant factor if the necessary conservation conditions are imposed. The gravitational axial anomaly present on a curved space background leads to a non-zero con...
متن کاملA Three - Dimensional Conformal Field Theory
This talk is based on a recent paper 1 of ours. In an attempt to understand three-dimensional conformal field theories, we study in detail one such example – the large N limit of the O(N) non-linear sigma model at its non-trivial fixed point – in the zeta function regularization. We study this on various three-dimensional manifolds of constant curvature of the kind Σ × R (Σ = S 1 × S 1 , S 2 , ...
متن کاملDiagnosing Chaos Using Four-Point Functions in Two-Dimensional Conformal Field Theory.
We study chaotic dynamics in two-dimensional conformal field theory through out-of-time-order thermal correlators of the form ⟨W(t)VW(t)V⟩. We reproduce holographic calculations similar to those of Shenker and Stanford, by studying the large c Virasoro identity conformal block. The contribution of this block to the above correlation function begins to decrease exponentially after a delay of ~t_...
متن کاملConformal Quantum Field Theory in Two and Four Dimensions
We review basic features and selected topics in conformal field theory, considering memorable results in 2D CFT and a recent attempt to construct a 4D analogue of a chiral algebra generated by local (observable) fields with rational correlation functions from a unified point of view.
