Kramers-wannier duality from conformal defects.
We demonstrate that the fusion algebra of conformal defects of a two-dimensional conformal field theory contains information about the internal symmetries of the theory and allows one to read off generalizations of Kramers-Wannier duality. We illustrate the general mechanism in the examples of the Ising model and the three-state Potts model.
متن کاملA Factor-Graph Approach to Algebraic Topology, With Applications to Kramers--Wannier Duality
We consider the classical duality result of Kramers and Wannier, which expresses the partition function of the twodimensional Ising model at low temperature in terms of the partition function of the two-dimensional Ising model at high temperature. Our main contribution is to gain new insights into this result by reproving it with the help of a simple normalfactor-graph duality theorem (with ori...
متن کاملAnomalous Dispersion in Predictive Rendering
In coloured media, the index of refraction does not decrease monotonically with increasing wavelength, but behaves in a quite non-monotonical way. This behaviour is called anomalous dispersion and results from the fact that the absorption of a material influences its index of refraction. So far, this interesting fact has not been widely acknowledged by the graphics community. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملDuality and Defects in Rational Conformal Field Theory
We study topological defect lines in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory. Continuous variation of the location of such a defect does not change the value of a correlator. Defects separating different phases of local CFTs with the same chiral symmetry are included in our discussion. We show how the resulting onedimensional phase boundaries can be used to extract symmetries and order-...
متن کاملKramers-Wannier Approximation for the 3D Ising Model
We investigate the Kramers-Wannier approximation for the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model. The variational state is represented by an effective 2D Ising model, which contains two variational parameters. We numerically calculate the variational partition function using the corner transfer matrix renormalization group (CTMRG) method, and find its maximum with respect to the variational paramete...
