the coherent anomaly method and a cluster mean-field approach combined with finite-sizescaling extrapolation were used to determine the critical temperature and the critical exponents of as =1 ising chain with a long-range interaction in the form of 1/ r1+σ . the results of criticaltemperature are in good agreement with the recent results of the finite-range scaling method and aremore accurate ...

in this short review we look at recent advances in schramm-loewner evolution (sle) theory and its application to critical phenomena. the application of sle goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. through the use of sle, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
