Disordered Systems and Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We review a recent development in theoretical understanding of the quenched averaged correlation functions of disordered systems and the logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT) in d-dimensions. The logarithmic conformal field theory is the generalization of the conformal field theory when the dilatation operator is not diagonal and has the Jordan form. It is discussed that at the random fixed point the disordered systems such as random-bond Ising model, Polymer chain, etc. are described by LCFT and their correlation functions have logarithmic singularities. As an example we discuss in detail the application of LCFT to the problem of random-bond Ising model in 2 ≤ d ≤ 4. PACS, 05.70.jk;11.25.Hf;64.60.Ak

Non-unitary Conformal Field Theory and Logarithmic Operators for Disordered Systems
We consider the supersymmetric approach to gaussian disordered systems like the random bond Ising model and Dirac model with random mass and random potential. These models appeared in particular in the study of the integer quantum Hall transition. The supersymmetric approach reveals an osp(2/2)1 affine symmetry at the pure critical point. A similar symmetry should hold at other fixed points. We...

Logarithmic conformal field theory can be obtained using nilpotent weights. Using such scale transformations various properties of the theory were derived. The derivation of four point function needs a knowledge of singular vectors which is derived by including nilpotent variables into the Kac determinant. This leads to inhomogeneous hypergeometric functions. Finally we consider the theory ne...
متن کاملThe Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories
We study the correlation functions of logarithmic conformal field theories. First, assuming conformal invariance, we explicitly calculate two– and three– point functions. This calculation is done for the general case of more than one logarithmic field in a block, and more than one set of logarithmic fields. Then we show that one can regard the logarithmic field as a formal derivative of the ord...
متن کاملGradient Flow in Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory
We establish conditions under which the worldsheet β-functions of logarithmic conformal field theories can be derived as the gradient of some scalar function on the moduli space of running coupling constants. We derive a renormalization group invariant version of this function and relate it to the usual Zamolodchikov C-function expressed in terms of correlation functions of the worldsheet energ...
متن کاملLogarithmic conformal field theories and AdS correspondence
We generalize the Maldacena correspondence to the logarithmic conformal field theories. We study the correspondence between field theories in (d+1)-dimensional AdS space and the d-dimensional logarithmic conformal field theories in the boundary of AdSd+1. Using this correspondence, we get the n-point functions of the corresponding logarithmic conformal field theory in d-dimensions.
