We study the entanglement entropy of theories that are derived from relevant perturbation of given CFTs for regions with a singular boundary by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In the smooth case, it is well known that a relevant deformation of the boundary theory by the relevant operator with scaling dimension $Δ=\frac{d+2}{2}$ generates a logarithmic universal term to the entanglement entropy. As the smooth case, when the boundary CFT deformed by a relevant operator, we find that the entanglement entropy of singular surface also contains a new logarithmic term which is due to relevant perturbation of the conformal field theory, and depends on the scaling dimension of relevant operator. We also find for extended singular surfaces, $c_{n}\times R^{m}$ , as well as logarithmic term, the new universal double logarithmic terms may appear depending on the scaling dimension of relevant operator and spacetime dimensions. These new terms are due to relevant perturbation of the boundary theory.We study the entanglement entropy of theories that are derived from relevant perturbation of given CFTs for regions with a singular boundary by using the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Conformal Field Theory and the Exact Solution of the BCS Hamiltonian

Sierra, G

We propose a connection between conformal field theory (CFT) and the exact solution and integrability of the reduced BCS model of superconductivity. The relevant CFT is given by the $SU(2)_k$ -WZW model in the singular limit when the level k goes to -2. This theory has to be perturbed by an operator proportional to the inverse of the BCS coupling constant. Using the free field realization of this perturbed Wess-Zumino-Witten model, we derive the exact Richardson's wave function and the integrals of motion of the reduced BCS model in the saddle point approximation. The construction is reminiscent of the CFT approach to the Fractional Quantum Hall effect.We propose a connection between conformal field theory (CFT) and the exact solution and integrability of the reduced BCS model of superconductivity.

Non-local charges from perturbed defects via SymTFT in 2d CFT

Federico Ambrosino, Ingo Runkel B, G.M.T. Watts

Abstract We investigate non-local conserved charges in perturbed two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFT) from the point of view of the 3d symmetry TFT (SymTFT) of the unperturbed theory. In the SymTFT we state a simple commutation condition which results in a pair of compatible bulk and defect perturbations, such that the perturbed line defects are conserved in the perturbed CFT. In other words, the perturbed defects are rigidly translation invariant, and such defects form a monoidal category which extends the topological symmetries. As examples we study the A-type Virasoro minimal models M ( p , q ) . Our formalism provides one-parameter families of commuting non-local conserved charges for perturbations by a primary bulk field with Kac label (1, 2), (1, 3), or (1, 5), which are the standard integrable perturbations of minimal models. We find solutions to the commutation condition also for other bulk perturbations, such as (1, 7), and we contrast this with the existence of local conserved charges. There has been recent interest in the possibility that in certain cases perturbations by fields such as (1, 7) can be integrable, and our construction provides a new way in which integrability can be found without the need for local conserved charges.Abstract We investigate non-local conserved charges in perturbed two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFT) from the point of view of the 3d symmetry TFT (SymTFT) of the unperturbed theory.
