  2. Crystal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_field_theory

    In molecular physics, crystal field theory (CFT) describes the breaking of degeneracies of electron orbital states, usually d or f orbitals, due to a static electric field produced by a surrounding charge distribution (anion neighbors).

  3. Cardy formula - Wikipedia

    where R is the radius of a n-dimensional sphere at time t. The radiation is represented by a (n+1)-dimensional CFT. The entropy of that CFT is then given by the formula = (), where E c is the Casimir effect, and E the total energy. The above reduced formula gives the maximal entropy

  4. Critical three-state Potts model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_three-state_Potts...

    The three-state Potts CFT, also known as the parafermion CFT, is a conformal field theory in two dimensions. It is a minimal model with central charge = /.It is considered to be the simplest minimal model with a non-diagonal partition function in Virasoro characters, as well as the simplest non-trivial CFT with the W-algebra as a symmetry.

  5. Conformal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_field_theory

    A conformal field theory (CFT) is a quantum field theory that is invariant under conformal transformations. In two dimensions , there is an infinite-dimensional algebra of local conformal transformations, and conformal field theories can sometimes be exactly solved or classified.

  6. Operator product expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_product_expansion

    In 2D Euclidean field theory, the operator product expansion is a Laurent series expansion associated with two operators. In such an expansion, there are finitely many negative powers of the variable, in addition to potentially infinitely many positive powers of the variable.

  7. Wilson loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_loop

    Mathematically the term within the trace is known as the holonomy, which describes a mapping of the fiber into itself upon horizontal lift along a closed loop. The set of all holonomies itself forms a group, which for principal bundles must be a subgroup of the gauge group.

  8. Percolation critical exponents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_critical_exponents

    Percolation clusters become self-similar precisely at the threshold density for sufficiently large length scales, entailing the following asymptotic power laws: . The fractal dimension relates how the mass of the incipient infinite cluster depends on the radius or another length measure, () at = and for large probe sizes, .

  9. Two-dimensional conformal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional_conformal...

    While a CFT might conceivably exist only on a given Riemann surface, its existence on any surface other than the sphere implies its existence on all surfaces. [1] [2] Given a CFT, it is indeed possible to glue two Riemann surfaces where it exists, and obtain the CFT on the glued surface. [1] [3] On the other hand, some CFTs exist only on the ...
