Towards conformal invariance of 2D lattice models
نویسنده
چکیده
Many 2D lattice models of physical phenomena are conjectured to have conformally invariant scaling limits: percolation, Ising model, self-avoiding polymers, . . . This has led to numerous exact (but non-rigorous) predictions of their scaling exponents and dimensions. We will discuss how to prove the conformal invariance conjectures, especially in relation to Schramm-Loewner Evolution. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000).

Finite-size Corrections for Integrable Systems and Conformal Properties of Six-vertex Models
Statistical systems at second-order phase-transition points should exhibit conformal invariance at long distances. Their conformal properties can be analysed by investigating finite-size scaling behaviour. For integrable lattice models in two dimensions, methods are proposed to calculate, from the Bethe ansatz solution, the conformal anomaly c and all scaling dimensions. As an application resul...
متن کاملOn Convergence to SLE6 I: Conformal Invariance for Certain Models of the Bond-Triangular Type
We establish convergence to SLE6 of the Exploration Processes for the correlated bond-triangular type models studied by two of us in an earlier work (Chayes and Lei in Rev. Math. Phys. 19:511–565, 2007). This (rigorously) establishes that these models are in the same universality class as the standard site percolation model on the triangular lattice. In the context of these models, the result i...
متن کاملGauge invariance in simplicial gravity
The issue of local gauge invariance in the simplicial lattice formulation of gravity is examined. We exhibit explicitly, both in the weak-field expansion about flat space, and subsequently for arbitrarily triangulated background manifolds, the exact local gauge invariance of the gravitational action, which includes in general both cosmological constant and curvature-squared terms. We show that ...
متن کاملFrom Conformal Invariance towards Dynamical Symmetries of the Collisionless Boltzmann Equation
Dynamical symmetries of the collisionless Boltzmann transport equation, or Vlasov equation, but under the influence of an external driving force, are derived from non-standard representations of the 2D conformal algebra. In the case without external forces, the symmetry of the conformally-invariant transport equation is first generalized by considering the particle momentum as an independent va...
متن کاملCritical percolation in the plane: conformal invariance, Cardy’s formula, scaling limits
We study scaling limits and conformal invariance of critical site percolation on triangular lattice. We show that some percolation-related quantities are harmonic conformal invariants, and calculate their values in the scaling limit. As a particular case we obtain conformal invariance of the crossing probabilities and Cardy’s formula. Then we prove existence, uniqueness, and conformal invarianc...
