An exact conformal field theory describing a four-dimensional two-brane solution is found by considering a chiral gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theory corresponding to SL (2, R)× R, where one gauges the one-dimensional U(1) subgroup together with a translation in R. The backgrounds for string propagation are explicitly obtained and the target space is shown to have a true curvature singularity.

Abstract In these notes we study integrable structures of conformal field theory with BCD symmetry. We realise these integrable structures as $$ \mathfrak{gl} $$ gl (1) affine Yangian “spin chains” with boundaries. We provide three solutions of Sklyanin KRKR equation compatible with the affine Yangian R-matrix and derive Bethe ansatz equations for the spectrum. Our analysis provides a unified approach to the integrable structures with BCD symmetry including superalgebras.

Conformal field theory (CFT) has been extremely successful in describing large-scale universal effects in one-dimensional (1D) systems at quantum critical points. Unfortunately, its applicability in condensed matter physics has been limited to situations in which the bulk is uniform because CFT describes low-energy excitations around some energy scale, taken to be constant throughout the system. However, in many experimental contexts, such as quantum gases in trapping potentials and in several out-of-equilibrium situations, systems are strongly inhomogeneous. We show here that the powerful CFT methods can be extended to deal with such 1D situations, providing a few concrete examples for non-interacting Fermi gases. The system's inhomogeneity enters the field theory action through parameters that vary with position; in particular, the metric itself varies, resulting in a CFT in curved space. This approach allows us to derive exact formulas for entanglement entropies which were not known by other means.

The finite-volume spectrum of an integrable massive perturbation of a rational conformal field theory interpolates between massive multiparticle states in infinite-volume (IR limit) and conformal states, which are approached at zero volume (UV limit). Each state is labeled in the IR by a set of “Bethe-ansatz quantum numbers,” while in the UV limit it is characterized primarily by the conformal dimensions of the conformal field creating it. We present explicit conjectures for the UV conformal dimensions corresponding to any IR state in the ϕ1, 3-perturbed minimal models ℳ(2, 5) and ℳ(3, 5). The conjectures, which are based on a combinatorial interpretation of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Schur identities, are consistent with numerical results obtained previously for low-lying energy levels.

We propose a system of functional relations having a universal form connected to the [Formula: see text] Bethe ansatz equation. Based on the analysis of it, we conjecture a new sum formula for the Rogers dilogarithm function in terms of the scaling dimensions of the [Formula: see text] parafermion conformal field theory.
