Lovelock type gravity and small black holes in heterotic string theory

We analyze near horizon behavior of small D-dimensional 2-charge black holes by modifying tree level effective action of heterotic string with all extended Gauss-Bonnet densities. We show that there is a nontrivial and unique choice of parameters, independent of D, for which the black hole entropy in any dimension is given by 4π\sqrt{nw}, which is exactly the statistical entropy of 1/2-BPS states of heterotic string compactified on T^{9-D}\times S^1 with momentum n and winding w. This extends the results of Sen [JHEP 0507 (2005) 073] to all dimensions. We also show that our Lovelock type action belongs to the more general class of actions sharing the simmilar behaviour on the AdS_2\times S^{D-2} near horizon geometry.

Properties of the massive Thirring model from the XYZ spin chain

We consider here the massive Thirring model regularized with the XYZ spin chain. We numerically calculate the mass ratios of particles which lie in the discrete part of the spectrum and obtain results in accordance with the DHN formula and in disagreement with recent calculations in the literature based on the numerical Bethe ansatz and infinite momentum frame methods. We also analyze the short distance behavior of these states and evaluate the conformal dimensions. This paper, taken together with the previous one for the sine-Gordon model, confirms the duality relation between two models formulated by Klassen and Melzer [Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 8, 4131 (1993)].

XXZ spin chain in transverse field as a regularization of the sine-Gordon model

We consider here XXZ spin chain perturbed by the operator sigma^x (``in transverse field'') which is a lattice regularization of the sine-Gordon model. This can be shown using conformal perturbation theory. We calculated mass ratios of particles which lie in a discrete part of the spectrum and obtained results in accord with the DHN formula and in disagreement with recent calculations in literature based on numerical Bethe Ansatz and infinite momentum frame methods. We also analysed a short distance behavior of this states (UV or conformal limit). Our result for conformal dimension of the second breather state is different from the conjecture in [Klassen and Melzer, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A8, 4131 (1993)] and is consistent with this paper for other states.

Minimal Unitary Models and The Closed SU(2)-q Invariant Spin Chain

We consider the Hamiltonian of the closed $SU(2)_{q}$ invariant chain. We project a particular class of statistical models belonging to the unitary minimal series. A particular model corresponds to a particular value of the coupling constant. The operator content is derived. This class of models has charge-dependent boundary conditions. In simple cases (Ising, 3-state Potts) corresponding Hamiltonians are constructed. These are non-local as the original spin chain.
