Quantum Field Theories and Critical Phenomena on Defects
We construct and investigate quantum fields induced on a d-dimensional dissipationless defect by bulk fields propagating in a d + 1dimensional space. All interactions are localized on the defect. We derive a unitary non-canonical quantum field theory on the defect, which is analyzed both in the continuum and on the lattice. The universal critical behavior of the underlying system is determined....
متن کاملOn Quantum Field Theories
We derive unitarity restrictions on the scaling dimensions of primary quantum operators in a superconformal quantum field theory, in d =3, 4, 5, 6. 1. Introduction Whereas classical massless field theories are often conformally invariant, the same is rarely true of their quantum counterparts. To define a quantum field theory, you need to specify both a Lagrangian and a cutoff. The cutoff introd...
متن کاملEntanglement in quantum critical phenomena.
Entanglement, one of the most intriguing features of quantum theory and a main resource in quantum information science, is expected to play a crucial role also in the study of quantum phase transitions, where it is responsible for the appearance of long-range correlations. We investigate, through a microscopic calculation, the scaling properties of entanglement in spin chain systems, both near ...
متن کاملLuminous Phenomena of Earthquakes: Observations and Theories
Over the past few years, different theories (piezoelectric, positive holes, friction-vaporization, exo-electron emission, tribo- or fracture electrification) have been presented for the interpretation of earthquake lights. Although these theories can interpret earthquake luminous, each suffer from particular problems. There are also ambiguities and questions about the location of the light, the...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity, Random Geometry and Critical Phenomena
We discuss the theory of non-critical strings with extrinsic curvature embedded in a target spac d greater than one. We emphasize the analogy between 2d gravity coupled to matter and non liquid-like membranes with bending rigidity. We rst outline the exact solution for strings in dime via the double scaling limit of matrix models and then discuss the diiculties of an extension to d > from recen...
