    The Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

    Get PDF
    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 ordinary field with respect to its conformal weight. This enables one to calculate any nn-- point function containing the logarithmic field in terms of ordinary nn--point functions. At last, we calculate the operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients of a logarithmic conformal field theory, and show that these can be obtained from the corresponding coefficients of ordinary conformal theory by a simple derivation.Comment: 17 pages ,latex , some minor changes, to appear in Nucl.

    Logarithmic N=1 superconformal field theories

    Full text link
    We study the logarithmic superconformal field theories. Explicitly, the two-point functions of N=1 logarithmic superconformal field theories (LSCFT) when the Jordan blocks are two (or more) dimensional, and when there are one (or more) Jordan block(s) have been obtained. Using the well known three-point fuctions of N=1 superconformal field theory (SCFT), three-point functions of N=1 LSCFT are obtained. The general form of N=1 SCFT's four-point functions is also obtained, from which one can easily calculate four-point functions in N=1 LSCFT.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX file, minor revisions made, to appear in Phys.

    Logarithmic conformal field theories with continuous weights

    Get PDF
    We study the logarithmic conformal field theories in which conformal weights are continuous subset of real numbers. A general relation between the correlators consisting of logarithmic fields and those consisting of ordinary conformal fields is investigated. As an example the correlators of the Coulomb-gas model are explicitly studied.Comment: Latex, 12 pages, IPM preprint, to appear in Phys. Lett.

    A Logarithmic Conformal Field Theory Solution For Two Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamics In Presence of The Alf'ven Effect

    Full text link
    When Alf`ven effect is peresent in magnetohydrodynamics one is naturally lead to consider conformal field theories, which have logarithmic terms in their correlation functions. We discuss the implications of such logarithmic terms and find a unique conformal field theory with centeral charge c=2097c=-\frac{209}{7}, within the border of the minimal series, which satisfies all the constraints. The energy espectrum is found to be \newline E(k)k137logkE(k)\sim k^{-\frac{13}{7}} \log{k}.Comment: Latex, 9 page

    On Maximum Signless Laplacian Estrada Indices of Graphs with Given Parameters

    Full text link
    Signless Laplacian Estrada index of a graph GG, defined as SLEE(G)=i=1neqiSLEE(G)=\sum^{n}_{i=1}e^{q_i}, where q1,q2,,qnq_1, q_2, \cdots, q_n are the eigenvalues of the matrix Q(G)=D(G)+A(G)\mathbf{Q}(G)=\mathbf{D}(G)+\mathbf{A}(G). We determine the unique graphs with maximum signless Laplacian Estrada indices among the set of graphs with given number of cut edges, pendent vertices, (vertex) connectivity and edge connectivity.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure

    Discrete scale invariance, and its logarithmic extension

    Full text link
    It is known that discrete scale invariance leads to log-periodic corrections to scaling. We investigate the correlations of a system with discrete scale symmetry, discuss in detail possible extension of this symmetry such as translation and inversion, and find general forms for correlation functions.Comment: 12 pages, LaTe

    Zero tension Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in (d+1)- Dimensions

    Full text link
    The joint probability distribution function (PDF) of the height and its gradients is derived for a zero tension d+1d+1-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. It is proved that the height`s PDF of zero tension KPZ equation shows lack of positivity after a finite time tct_{c}. The properties of zero tension KPZ equation and its differences with the case that it possess an infinitesimal surface tension is discussed. Also potential relation between the time scale tct_{c} and the singularity time scale tc,ν0t_{c, \nu \to 0} of the KPZ equation with an infinitesimal surface tension is investigated.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
