چکیده

Fractals at T = T c due to instanton-like configurations Abstract We investigate the geometry of the critical fluctuations for a general system undergoing a thermal second order phase transition. Adopting a generalized effective action for the local description of the fluctuations of the order parameter at the critical point (T = T c) we show that instanton-like configurations, corresponding to the minima of the effective action functional, build up clusters with fractal geometry characterizing locally the critical fluctuations. The connection between the corresponding (local) fractal dimension and the critical exponents is derived. Possible extension of the local geometry of the system to a global picture is also discussed.

Starting from the well-known quantum Miura-like transformation for the non simply-laced Lie algebras B N , we give an explicit construction of the Casimir W B 3 algebras. We reserve the notation WB N for the Casimir W algebras of type W 1 2) which contains one fermionic field. It is seen that W B 3 algebra is closed and associative for all values of the central charge c.

In this brief report, we analyze a generalized theory of massless scalar QED2 and show that, unlike the conventional scalar QED2, it is free from infrared divergence problems. The model is exactly soluble and may describe, in an 1+1 dimensional space-time, noninteracting spin-one tachyons.
