Theory and Possible Experiments
Using field-theoretical methods and exploiting conformal invari-ance, we study Casimir forces at tricritical points exerted by long-range fluctuations of the order-parameter field. Special attention is paid to the situation where the symmetry is broken by the boundary conditions (extraordinary transition). Besides the parallel-plate configuration, we also discuss the geometries of two separate ...
متن کاملCritical Casimir forces in cellular membranes.
Recent experiments suggest that membranes of living cells are tuned close to a miscibility critical point in the two-dimensional Ising universality class. We propose that one role for this proximity to criticality in live cells is to provide a conduit for relatively long-range critical Casimir forces. Using techniques from conformal field theory we calculate potentials of mean force between mem...
متن کاملNon - critical string field theory for 2 d quantum gravity coupled to ( p , q ) – conformal fields
Non-critical string field theory for 2d quantum gravity coupled to (p,q)–conformal fields Abstract We propose a non-critical string field theory for 2d quantum gravity coupled to (p,q) conformal fields. The Hamiltonian is described by the generators of the W p algebra, and the Schwinger-Dyson equation is equivalent to a vacuum condition imposed on the generators of W p algebra.
متن کاملPolchinski Erg Equation and 2d Scalar Field Theory A
We investigate a Z2-symmetric scalar field theory in two dimensions using the Polchinski exact renormalization group equation expanded to second order in the derivative expansion. We find preliminary evidence that the Polchinski equation is able to describe the non-perturbative infinite set of fixed points in the theory space, corresponding to the minimal unitary series of 2D conformal field th...
متن کاملStress Tensors and Casimir Energies in the AdS/CFT Correspondence
We discuss various approaches to extracting the full stress-energy tensor of the conformal field theory from the corresponding supergravity solutions, within the framework of the Maldacena conjecture. This provides a more refined probe of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We apply these techniques in considering the Casimir energy of the conformal field theory on a torus. It seems that either generic...
