We consider a critical Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) percolation with cluster weight $q \in [1,4)$ in the plane, and color its clusters in red (respectively blue) with probability $r \in (0,1)$ (respectively $1-r$), independently of each other. We…

We introduce an exact replica method for the study of critical systems with quenched bond randomness in two dimensions. For the $q$-state Potts model we show that a line of renormalization group fixed points interpolates from weak to strong…
We report a transfer matrix study of the random bond $q-$state Potts model in the vicinity of the Ising model $q=2$. We draw attention to a precise determination of magnetic scaling dimensions in order to compare with perturbative results.…
We consider the groundstate wave function and spectra of the $L$-site XXZ $U_q[s\ell(2)]$ invariant quantum spin chain with $q=\exp(\pi i/3)$. This chain is related to the critical Q=1 Potts model and exhibits $c=0$ conformal invariance. We…
The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a powerful tool to describe fractal interfaces in 2D critical statistical systems. Yet the application of SLE is well established for statistical systems described by quantum field theories satisfying…
