We investigate the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions decaying as $1/r^{1+s}$. In the critical regime, for $1/2 \leq s \leq 1$, this system realizes a family of nontrivial one-dimensional conformal field theories…
In this paper, we show that a pointwise-symmetric isotonic closure function is uniquely determined by the pairs of sets it separates. We then show that when the closure function of the domain is isotonic and the closure function of the…
We describe a general way of constructing integrable defect theories as perturbations of conformal field theory by local defect operators. The method relies on folding the system onto a boundary field theory of twice the central charge. The…

We make the first attempt to define S-transformations for CFT$_2$ as linear mappings from closed to open sector linear spaces. The definition is based on closed-open sector linear space isomorphisms and boundary condition completeness.…
