High Energy Theory Seminar
The O(n) and S_Q Conformal Field Theories in 2 dimensions
Hubert Saleur,
University of Southern California,
The critical O(n) and S_Q (Q-state Potts model) in 2 dimensions are, for n and Q real, described by non-unitary, non-rational CFTs, whose properties have long remained mysterious. I will sketch in this talk the recent solution of this problem based on the convergence of several approaches, including the bootstrap and representation theory of associative algebras.
Limited capacity in 469 Lauritsen
