Kramers-wannier duality from conformal defects.

چکیده
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.

Topological Defects on the Lattice I: The Ising model
In this paper and its sequel, we construct topologically invariant defects in two-dimensional classical lattice models and quantum spin chains. We show how defect lines commute with the transfer matrix/Hamiltonian when they obey the defect commutation relations, cousins of the Yang-Baxter equation. These relations and their solutions can be extended to allow defect lines to branch and fuse, aga...
متن کاملOn the Absorption and Emission Properties of Interstellar Grains
Our current understanding of the absorption and emission properties of interstellar grains are reviewed. The constraints placed by the Kramers-Kronig relation on the wavelength-dependence and the maximum allowable quantity of the dust absorption are discussed. Comparisons of the opacities (mass absorption coefficients) derived from interstellar dust models with those directly estimated from obs...
متن کاملDuality and even number spin-correlation functions in the Two dimensional square lattice Ising model
The Kramers-Wannier duality is shown to hold for all the even number spin correlation functions of the two dimensional square lattice Ising model in the sense that the high temperature (T > Tc) expressions for these correlation functions are transformed into the low temperature (T < Tc) expressions under this duality transformation. PACS: 05.70.Jk The two dimensional Ising model remains one of ...
متن کاملDiscretely Holomorphic Parafermions and Integrable Loop Models
We define parafermionic observables in various lattice loop models, including examples where no Kramers-Wannier duality holds. For a particular rhombic embedding of the lattice in the plane and a value of the parafermionic spin these variables are discretely holomorphic (they satisfy a lattice version of the Cauchy-Riemann equations) as long as the Boltzmann weights satisfy certain linear const...
متن کاملVerification of generalized Kramers-Krönig relations and sum rules on experimental data of third harmonic generation susceptibility on polymers
We present the first analysis of harmonic generation data where the full potential of the generalized nonlinear Kramers-Krönig (KK) relations and sum rules is exploited. We consider two published sets of wide spectral range experimental data of third harmonic generation susceptibility on different polymers, the polysilane (frequency
