Conformal Invariance and 2d Statistical Physics
A number of two-dimensional models in statistical physics are conjectured to have scaling limits at criticality that are in some sense conformally invariant. In the last ten years, the rigorous understanding of such limits has increased significantly. I give an introduction to the models and one of the major new mathematical structures, the Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE). 1. Critical phenomena...
متن کاملTowards conformal invariance of 2D lattice models
Many 2D lattice models of physical phenomena are conjectured to have conformally invariant scaling limits: percolation, Ising model, self-avoiding polymers, . . . This has led to numerous exact (but non-rigorous) predictions of their scaling exponents and dimensions. We will discuss how to prove the conformal invariance conjectures, especially in relation to Schramm-Loewner Evolution. Mathemati...
متن کاملChiral scale and conformal invariance in 2D quantum field theory.
It is well known that a local, unitary Poincaré-invariant 2D quantum field theory with a global scaling symmetry and a discrete non-negative spectrum of scaling dimensions necessarily has both a left and a right local conformal symmetry. In this Letter, we consider a chiral situation beginning with only a left global scaling symmetry and do not assume Lorentz invariance. We find that a left con...
متن کاملSe p 20 05 General coordinate invariance and conformal invariance in nonrelativistic physics : Unitary Fermi gas
We show that the Lagrangian for interacting nonrelativistic particles can be coupled to external gauge field and metric tensor in a way that exhibits a nonrelativistic version of general coordinate invariance. We explore the consequences of this invariance on the example of the degenerate Fermi gas at infinite scattering length, where conformal invariance also plays an important role. We find t...
متن کاملConformal Invariance and Integrable Theories
Integrable theories on the lattice having zero energy gap exhibit conformal invariance for long distances. It is shown here how to extract its conformal properties (central charge e and scaling dimensions) from the Bethe ansatz equations. The methods here exposed are applied to the six-vertex model and to the critical Potts model.
