Se 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.
متن کاملThe Boundary State Formalism and Conformal Invariance in Off-shell String Theory
In this note we present a generalization of the boundary state formalism for the bosonic string that allows us to calculate the overlap of the boundary state with arbitrary closed string states. We show that this generalization exactly reproduces world-sheet sigma model calculations, thus giving the correct overlap with both onand off-shell string states, and that this new boundary state automa...
متن کاملStochastic processes and conformal invariance.
We discuss a one-dimensional model of a fluctuating interface with a dynamic exponent z=1. The events that occur are adsorption, which is local, and desorption which is nonlocal and may take place over regions of the order of the system size. In the thermodynamic limit, the time dependence of the system is given by characters of the c=0 logarithmic conformal field theory of percolation. This im...
متن کاملDynamics, Probability, and Conformal Invariance
The study of dynamics in the plane has recently seen a surge in interest due to three recent breakthroughs: the Sullivan-McMullen-Lyubich proof of the Feigenbaum Universality, the introduction by O. Schramm of SLE processes, and the work of S. Smirnov on percolation. The fields of Holomorphic Dynamics, SLE, and Conformal Field Theory (CFT) are now seen to be closely linked, the glue being provi...
