Four spins correlation function of the $q$ states Potts model, for general values of $q$. Its percolation model limit $q \rightarrow 1$

Under the assumption that the product of two spin operators decomposes uniquely into the degenerate conformal fields $\{Φ_{n',n}\}$, the general expression for the correlation function of four spins is defined for the $q$ states Potts model with $q$ taking general values in the interval $1 \leq q \leq 4$. The limit of $q \rightarrow 1$ is considered in detail and the four spins function is obtained for the percolation model.

Correlation function of four spins in the percolation model

By using the Coulomb gas technics we calculate the four-spin correlation function in the percolation $q\rightarrow 1$ limit of the Potts model. It is known that the four-point functions define the actual fusion rules of a particular model. In this respect, we find that fusion of two spins, of dimension $Δ_σ=\frac{5}{96}$, produce a new channel, in the 4-point function, which is due to the operator with dimension $Δ=5/8$.

Analytic continuation of 3-point functions of the conformal field theory

It is shown that the general 3-point function $<Φ_{a} Φ_{b} Φ_{c}>$, with continuous values of charges $a, b, c$ of a statistical model operators, and the 3-point function of the Liouville model, could all be obtained by successive analytical continuations starting from the 3-point function of the minimal model.

Parafermionic chiral algebra Z_{3} with the dimension of the principal parafermion fields psi(z), psi^{+}(z), Delta_{psi}=8/3

We analyze, and prove, the associativity of the new Z_{3} parafermionic chiral algebra which has been announced some time ago, with principal parafermionic fields having the conformal dimension Δ_ψ=8/3. In doing so we have developed a new method for analyzing the associativity of a given chiral algebra of parafermionic type, the method which might be of a more general significance than a particular conformal field theory studied in detail in this paper. Still, even in the context of our particular chiral algebra, of Z_{3} parafermions with Δ_ψ=8/3, the new method allowed us to give a proof of associativity which we consider to be complete.

Renormalization group flows for $Z_5$ parafermionic field theory

Using the renormalization group approach, the Coulomb gas and the coset techniques, the effect of slightly relevant perturbations is studied for the second parafermionic field theory with the symmetry $Z\_{5}$. New fixed points are found and classified.

Coupled Models $WD_{3}$. Their Fixed Points

$N$ conformal theory models $WD^{(p)}_{3}$ coupled locally by their energy operators are analyzed by means of a perturbative renormalization group. New non-trivial fixed points are found.

Models WD_{n} in the presence of disorder and the coupled models

We have studied the conformal models WD_{n}^{(p)}, n=3,4,5,..., in the presence of disorder which couples to the energy operator of the model. In the limit of p<<1 where p is the corresponding minimal model index, the problem could be analyzed by means of the perturbative renormalization group, with $epsilon$-expansion in $ε$=1/p. We have found that the disorder makes to flow the model WD_{n}^{(p)} to the model WD_{n}^{(p-1)} without disorder. In the related problem of N coupled regular WD_{n}^{(p)} models (no disorder), coupled by their energy operators, we find a flow to the fixed point of N decoupled WD_{n}^{(p-1)}. But in addition we find in this case two new fixed points which could be reached by a fine tuning of the initial values of the couplings. The corresponding critical theories realize the permutational symmetry in a non-trivial way, like this is known to be the case for coupled Potts models, and they could not be identified with the presently known conformal models.

Classification of Conformal Field Theories Based on Coulomb gases. Application to Loop Models

We present a method for classifying conformal field theories based on Coulomb gases (bosonic free-field construction). Given a particular geometric configuration of the screening charges, we give necessary conditions for the existence of degenerate representations and for the closure of the vertex-operator algebra. The resulting classification contains, but is more general than, the standard one based on classical Lie algebras. We then apply the method to the Coulomb gas theory for the two-flavoured loop model of Jacobsen and Kondev. The purpose of the study is to clarify the relation between Coulomb gas models and conformal field theories with extended symmetries.
