Abstract Recent work has suggested an intriguing relation between quantum chaos and energy density correlations, known as pole skipping. We investigate this relationship in two dimensional conformal field theories on a finite size spatial circle by studying the thermal energy density retarded two-point function on a torus. We find that the location ω* = iλ of pole skipping in the complex frequency plane is determined by the central charge and the stress energy one-point function 〈T〉 on the torus. In addition, we find a bound on λ in c > 1 compact, unitary CFT2s identical to the chaos bound, λ ≤ 2πT. This bound is saturated in large c CFT2s with a sparse light spectrum, as quantified by [1], for all temperatures above the dual Hawking-Page transition temperature.

We discuss the partners of the stress energy tensor and their structure in Logarithmic conformal field theories. In particular we draw attention to the fundamental differences between theories with zero and non-zero central charge. However they are both characterised by at least two independent parameters. We show how, by using a generalised Sugawara construction, one can calculate the logarithmic partner of T. We show that such a construction works in the c=-2 theory using the conformal dimension one primary currents which generate a logarithmic extension of the Kac-Moody algebra. This is an expanded version of a talk presented by A. Nichols at the conference on Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory and its Applications in Tehran Iran, 2001.

We describe several aspects of the annihilating ideals and reduced chiral algebras of conformal field theories, especially, minimal models of Wn algebras. The structure of the annihilating ideal and a vanishing condition is given. Using the annihilating ideal, the structure of quasi-finite models of the Virasoro (2,q) minimal models are studied, and their intimate relation to the Gordon identities are discussed. We also show the examples in which the reduced algebras of Wn and Wℓ algebras at the same central charge are isomorphic to each other.

AbstractWe develop an orbifold theory for finite, cyclic groups acting on holomorphic vertex operator algebras. Then we show that Schellekens’ classification of {V_{1}}-structures of meromorphic conformal field theories of central charge 24 is a theorem on vertex operator algebras. Finally, we use these results to construct some new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 as lattice orbifolds.

AbstractWe elaborate on the structure of the conformal anomaly effective action up to 4-th order, in an expansion in the gravitational fluctuations (h) of the background metric, in the flat spacetime limit. For this purpose we discuss the renormalization of 4-point functions containing insertions of stress-energy tensors (4T), in conformal field theories in four spacetime dimensions with the goal of identifying the structure of the anomaly action. We focus on a separation of the correlator into its transverse/traceless and longitudinal components, applied to the trace and conservation Ward identities (WI) in momentum space. These are sufficient to identify, from their hierarchical structure, the anomaly contribution, without the need to proceed with a complete determination of all of its independent form factors. Renormalization induces sequential bilinear graviton-scalar mixings on single, double and multiple trace terms, corresponding to $$R\square ^{-1}$$ R □ - 1 interactions of the scalar curvature, with intermediate virtual massless exchanges. These dilaton-like terms couple to the conformal anomaly, as for the chiral anomalous WIs. We show that at 4T level a new traceless component appears after renormalization. We comment on future extensions of this result to more general backgrounds, with possible applications to non local cosmologies.

We investigate exactly solvable two-dimensional conformal field theories that exist at generic values of the central charge, and that interpolate between A-series or D-series minimal models. When the central charge becomes rational, correlation functions of these CFTs may tend to correlation functions of minimal models, or diverge, or have finite limits which can be logarithmic. These results are based on analytic relations between four-point structure constants and residues of conformal blocks.

In this work we discuss an approach due to F. David to the geometry of world sheets of noncritical strings in quasiclassical approximation. The gravitational dressed conformal dimension is related to the scaling behavior of the two-point function with respect to a distance variable. We show how this approach can reproduce the standard gravitational dressing in the next order of perturbation theory. Furthermore, we try to find this scaling dimension by studying the functional integral. With the same technique we calculate the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of a world sheet.

Two classes of Conformal Field Theories have been proposed to describe the Hierarchical Quantum Hall Effect: the multicomponent bosonic theory, characterized by the symmetry [Formula: see text] and the W1+∞ minimal models with central charge c=m. In spite of having the same spectrum of edge excitations, they manifest differences in the degeneracy of the states and in the quantum statistics, which call for a more detailed comparison between them. Here, we describe their detailed relation for the general case, c=m and extend the methods previously published for c≤3. Specifically, we obtain the reduction in the number of degrees of freedom from the multicomponent Abelian theory to the minimal models by decomposing the characters of the [Formula: see text] representations into those of the c=mW1+∞ minimal models. Furthermore, we find the Hamiltonian whose renormalization group flow interpolates between the two models, having the W1+∞ minimal models as an infrared fixed point.

The pair production of charged scalar dyons is analytically studied in near-extremal Kerr-Newman (KN) dyonic black holes. The pair production rate and its thermal interpretation are given. Moreover, the absorption cross section ratio has been compared with the two-point function of the conformal field theories (CFTs) holographically dual to the near horizon geometry, namely warped AdS3, of the near extremal Kerr-Newman black holes to verify the threefold dyonic KN/CFTs correspondence.

Abstract We study the AdS/BCFT duality between two-dimensional conformal field theories with two boundaries and three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with two Karch-Randall branes. We compute the entanglement entropy of a bipartition of the BCFT, on both the gravity side and the field theory side. At finite temperature this entanglement entropy characterizes the communication between two braneworld black holes, coupled to each other through a common bath. We find a Page curve consistent with unitarity. The gravitational result, computed using double-holographically realized quantum extremal surfaces, matches the conformal field theory calculation.At zero temperature, we obtain an interesting extension of the AdS3/BCFT2 correspondence. For a central charge c, we find a gap $$ \left(\frac{c}{16},\frac{c}{12}\right) $$ c 16 c 12 in the spectrum of the scaling dimension ∆bcc of the boundary condition changing operator (which interpolates mismatched boundary conditions on the two boundaries of the BCFT). Depending on the value of ∆bcc, the gravitational dual is either a defect global AdS3 geometry or a single sided black hole, and in both cases there are two Karch-Randall branes.

Abstract We test the proposal of [1] for the holographic computation of the charged moments and the resulting symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy in different excited states, as well as for two entangling intervals. Our holographic computations are performed in U(1) Chern-Simons-Einstein-Hilbert gravity, and are confirmed by independent results in a conformal field theory at large central charge. In particular, we consider two classes of excited states, corresponding to charged and uncharged conical defects in AdS3. In the conformal field theory, these states are generated by the insertion of charged and uncharged heavy operators. We employ the monodromy method to calculate the ensuing four-point function between the heavy operators and the twist fields. For the two-interval case, we derive our results on the AdS and the conformal field theory side, respectively, from the generating function method of [1], as well as the vertex operator algebra. In all cases considered, we find equipartition of entanglement between the different charge sectors. We also clarify an aspect of conformal field theories with a large central charge and $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody symmetry used in our calculations, namely the factorization of the Hilbert space into a gravitational Virasoro sector with large central charge, and a $$ \hat{\mathfrak{u}}{(1)}_k $$ u ̂ 1 k Kac-Moody sector.
