Conformal Invariance and Integrable Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Integrable theories on the lattice having zero energy gap exhibit conformal invariance for long distances. It is shown here how to extract its conformal properties (central charge e and scaling dimensions) from the Bethe ansatz equations. The methods here exposed are applied to the six-vertex model and to the critical Potts model.

Holomorphic Chern-Simons-Witten Theory: from 2D to 4D Conformal Field Theories
It is well known that rational 2D conformal field theories are connected with Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D real manifolds. We consider holomorphic analogues of Chern-Simons theories defined on 3D complex manifolds (six real dimensions) and describe 4D conformal field theories connected with them. All these models are integrable. We describe analogues of the Virasoro and affine Lie algebr...
متن کاملModular Invariance of Characters of Vertex Operator Algebras
In contrast with the finite dimensional case, one of the distinguished features in the theory of infinite dimensional Lie algebras is the modular invariance of the characters of certain representations. It is known [Fr], [KP] that for a given affine Lie algebra, the linear space spanned by the characters of the integrable highest weight modules with a fixed level is invariant under the usual ac...
متن کاملActions for Integrable Systems and Deformed Conformal Theories*
I report on work on a Lagrangian formulation for the simplest 1+1 dimensional integrable hierarchies. This formulation makes the relationship between conformal field theories and (quantized) 1+1 dimensional integrable hierarchies very clear.
متن کاملPerturbed Logarithmic CFT and Integrable Models
Perturbation of logarithmic conformal field theories is investigated using Zamolodchikov’s method. We derive conditions for the perturbing operator, such that the perturbed model be integrable. We also consider an example where integrable models arise out of perturbation of known logarithmic conformal field theories.

Perturbation of logarithmic conformal field theories is investigated using Zamolodchikov’s method. We derive conditions for the perturbing operator, such that the perturbed model be integrable. We also consider two examples where integrable models arise out of perturbation of known logarithmic conformal field theories.
