Identification of the stress-energy tensor through conformal restriction in SLE and related processes
B. Doyon, V. Riva, J. Cardy
We derive the Ward identities of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) within the framework of Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) and some related processes. This result, inspired by the obser…
The scaling limit of two cluster boundaries in critical lattice models
Adam Gamsa, John Cardy
The probability that a point is to one side of a curve in Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) can be obtained alternatively using boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). We extend the…
Entanglement entropy and quantum field theory: a non-technical introduction
Pasquale Calabrese, John Cardy
In these proceedings we give a pedagogical and non-technical introduction to the Quantum Field Theory approach to entanglement entropy. Particular attention is devoted to the one s…
Scale and conformal invariance in field theory: a physical counterexample
V. Riva, J. Cardy
In this note, we illustrate how the two-dimensional theory of elasticity provides a physical example of field theory displaying scale but not conformal invariance.
SLE for theoretical physicists
John Cardy
This article provides an introduction to Schramm(stochastic)-Loewner evolution (SLE) and to its connection with conformal field theory, from the point of view of its application to…
Evolution of Entanglement Entropy in One-Dimensional Systems
Pasquale Calabrese, John Cardy
We study the unitary time evolution of the entropy of entanglement of a one-dimensional system between the degrees of freedom in an interval of length l and its complement, startin…
