    On AGT conjecture

    Get PDF
    In these notes we consider relation between conformal blocks and the Nekrasov partition function of certain N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SYM theories proposed recently by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa. We concentrate on N=2∗\mathcal{N}=2^{*} theory, which is the simplest example of AGT relation.Comment: References adde

    The Higgs and Coulomb/Confining Phases in "Twisted-Mass" Deformed CP(N-1) Model

    Full text link
    We consider non-supersymmetric two-dimensional CP(N-1) model deformed by a term presenting the bosonic part of the twisted mass deformation of N=2 supersymmetric version of the model. Our deformation has a special form preserving a Z_N symmetry at the Lagrangian level. In the large mass limit the model is weakly coupled. Its dynamics is described by the Higgs phase, with Z_N spontaneously broken. At small masses it is in the strong coupling Coulomb/confining phase. The Z_N symmetry is restored. Two phases are separated by a phase transition. We find the phase transition point in the large-N limit. It lies at strong coupling. As was expected, the phase transition is related to broken versus unbroken Z_N symmetry in these two respective phases. The vacuum energies for these phases are determined too.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, reference adde

    Multipoint correlation functions in Liouville field theory and minimal Liouville gravity

    Full text link
    We study n+3-point correlation functions of exponential fields in Liouville field theory with n degenerate and 3 arbitrary fields. An analytical expression for these correlation functions is derived in terms of Coulomb integrals. The application of these results to the minimal Liouville gravity is considered.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the International Workshop on Classical and Quantum Integrable Systems, Dubna, Russia, January 22-25, 2007, 18 page

    On differential equation on four-point correlation function in the Conformal Toda Field Theory

    Full text link
    The properties of completely degenerate fields in the Conformal Toda Field Theory are studied. It is shown that a generic four-point correlation function that contains only one such field does not satisfy ordinary differential equation in contrast to the Liouville Field Theory. Some additional assumptions for other fields are required. Under these assumptions we write such a differential equation and solve it explicitly. We use the fusion properties of the operator algebra to derive a special set of three-point correlation function. The result agrees with the semiclassical calculations.Comment: 5 page

    On scaling fields in ZNZ_N Ising models

    Full text link
    We study the space of scaling fields in the ZNZ_N symmetric models with the factorized scattering and propose simplest algebraic relations between form factors induced by the action of deformed parafermionic currents. The construction gives a new free field representation for form factors of perturbed Virasoro algebra primary fields, which are parafermionic algebra descendants. We find exact vacuum expectation values of physically important fields and study correlation functions of order and disorder fields in the form factor and CFT perturbation approaches.Comment: 2 Figures, jetpl.cl

    Miura-Like Free Field Realization Of Fermionic Casimir WB(3) Algebras

    Get PDF
    Starting from the well-known quantum Miura-like transformation for the non simply-laced Lie algebras B(3),we give an explicit construction of the Casimir WB(3) algebras.We reserve the notation WB(N) for the Casimir W algebras of type W(2,4,6,...,2N,N+1/2) which contains one fermionic field. It is seen that WB(3) algebra is closed an associative for all values of the central element c.Comment: 7 pages,no figures,TeX fil
