On thermodynamic approaches to conformal field theory
We present the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz as a way to factorize the partition function of a 2d field theory, in particular, a conformal field theory and we compare it with another approach to factorization due to K. Schoutens which consists of diagonalizing matrix recursion relations between the partition functions at consecutive levels. We prove that both are equivalent, taking as examples the...
متن کاملOperads and Conformal Field Theory Lecture 1: Conformal Field Theory
Physicists have developed very advanced methods to compute such integrals. For example, the famous Feynman diagram technique allows us to compute the above integral for a rather particular function S(x), a small perturbation of a positive de nite quadratic form in R . Sometimes, elaborate techniques of physicists to compute simple things nd an amazing application to very general things in mathe...
متن کاملOn the cobordism and commutative monoid with cancellation approaches to conformal field theory
In the late 1980s, Graeme Segal axiomatized conformal field theory in terms of a cobordism category. In that same preprint he outlined a more symmetric trace approach, which was recently rigorized in terms of pseudo algebras over a 2-theory. In this paper, we treat the cobordism approach in the pseudo algebra context. We introduce a new algebraic structure on a bicategory, called a pseudo 2-alg...
متن کاملIntegrable Structure of Conformal Field Theory , Quantum KdV Theory and Thermodynamic
We construct the quantum versions of the monodromy matrices of KdV theory. The traces of these quantum monodromy matrices, which will be called as \T-operators", act in highest weight Virasoro modules. The T-operators depend on the spectral parameter and their expansion around =1 generates an in nite set of commuting Hamiltonians of the quantum KdV system. The T-operators can be viewed as the c...
متن کاملIntegrable Structure of Conformal Field Theory, Quantum KdV Theory and Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz
We construct the quantum versions of the monodromy matrices of KdV theory. The traces of these quantum monodromy matrices, which will be called as “T-operators”, act in highest weight Virasoro modules. The T-operators depend on the spectral parameter λ and their expansion around λ = ∞ generates an infinite set of commuting Hamiltonians of the quantum KdV system. The T-operators can be viewed as...
