Logarithmic Operators and Hidden Continuous Symmetry in Critical Disordered Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the model of (2 + 1)-dimensional relativistic fermions in a random non-Abelian gauge potential at criticality. The exact solution shows that the operator expansion contains a conserved current a generator of a continuous symmetry. The presence of this operator changes the operator product expansion and gives rise to logarithmic contributions to the correlation functions at the critical point. We calculate the distribution function of the local density of states in this model and find that it follows the famous log-normal law.

Non-unitary Conformal Field Theory and Logarithmic Operators for Disordered Systems
We consider the supersymmetric approach to gaussian disordered systems like the random bond Ising model and Dirac model with random mass and random potential. These models appeared in particular in the study of the integer quantum Hall transition. The supersymmetric approach reveals an osp(2/2)1 affine symmetry at the pure critical point. A similar symmetry should hold at other fixed points. We...
متن کاملLogarithmic Operators and Dynamical Extention of the Symmetry Group in the Bosonic
We study the operator product expansion in the bosonic SU(2)0 and SUSY SU(2)2 WZNW models. We find that these OPEs contain both logarithmic operators and new conserved currents, leading to an extension of the symmetry group.

We consider the application of logarithmic conformal field theory in finding solutions to the turbulent phases of 2-dimensional models of magnetohydrodynamics. These arise upon dimensional reduction of standard (infinite conductivity) 3-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics, after taking various simplifying limits. We show that solutions of the corresponding Hopf equations and higher order integrals...
متن کاملTwo-Point Functions and Logarithmic Boundary Operators in Boundary Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories
Amongst conformal field theories, there exist logarithmic conformal field theories such as cp,1 models. We have investigated cp,q models with a boundary in search of logarithmic theories and have found logarithmic solutions of two-point functions in the context of the Coulomb gas picture. We have also found the relations between coefficients in the two-point functions and correlation functions ...
متن کاملSU ( 2 ) 0 and OSp ( 2 | 2 ) − 2 WZNW models : Two current algebras , one Logarithmic CFT
We show that the SU(2)0 WZNW model has a hidden OSp(2|2)−2 symmetry. Both these theories are known to have logarithms in their correlation functions. We also show that, like OSp(2|2)−2, the logarithmic structure present in the SU(2)0 model is due to the underlying c = −2 sector. This leads us to conjecture that the continuous representation of SU(2) can be produced by the fusion of several disc...
