c-theorem and spectral representation
308
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral representation of the stress tensor is used to generalize the Zamolodchikov's c-theorem above two space-time dimensions, and a meaningful charge is obtained by defining the theory on curved hyperbolic space.

Entanglement in quantum critical phenomena.
TL;DR: The results establish a precise connection between concepts of quantum information, condensed matter physics, and quantum field theory, by showing that the behavior of critical entanglement in spin systems is analogous to that of entropy in conformal field theories.
Solving the 3D Ising Model with the Conformal Bootstrap
Sheer El-Showk,Miguel F. Paulos,David Poland,Slava Rychkov,David Simmons-Duffin,Alessandro Vichi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity in general 3D conformal field theories were studied, and it was shown that the 3D Ising model lies at a corner point on the boundary of the allowed parameter space.

Geometric classification of conformal anomalies in arbitrary dimensions
Stanley Deser,A. Schwimmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a complete geometric description of conformal anomalies in arbitrary, (necessarily even) dimenison is given, which fall into two distinct classes: the first, based on Weyl invariants that vanish at integer dimensions, arises from finite contributions to the effective gravitational action through a mechanism analogous to that of the (gauge field) chiral anomaly.
