We consider a class of quantum lattice models in $1+1$ dimensions represented as local quantum circuits that enjoy a particular "dual-unitarity" property. In essence, this property ensures that both the evolution "in time" and that "in…
The conformal spectra of the critical dilute A-D-E lattice models are studied numerically. The results strongly indicate that, in branches 1 and 2, these models provide realizations of the complete A-D-E classification of unitary minimal…
We define a 2-dimensional Ising model on a triangulated sphere, $\mathbb S^2$, designed to approach the exact conformal field theory (CFT) in the continuum limit. Surprisingly, the derivation leads to a set of geometric constraints that the…
We show that a class of $L$-loop conformal ladder graphs correspond to twisted partition functions of free massive complex scalars in $d=2L+1$ dimensions. The graphs arise as four-point functions in certain two- and four-dimensional…
We show that well-chosen Lagrangians for a class of two-dimensional integrable lattice equations obey a closure relation when embedded in a higher dimensional lattice. On the basis of this property we formulate a Lagrangian description for…
We have calculated the running coupling in SU(2), SU(3), and SU(4) gauge theories to see whether they have infrared fixed points. An infrared fixed point means no confinement: It means that the long-distance physics is conformal, without a…
In this work, the origin of nonlocal effects is inspected and the contributions of nontrivial topological structures to physical properties are investigated in details for both the 3D Ising model and the Z2 lattice gauge model. Then the…
In this paper we continue the work of Kalnins et al in classifying all second-order conformally-superintegrable (Laplace-type) systems over conformally flat spaces, using tools from algebraic geometry and classical invariant theory. The…
This paper studies the differential lattice, defined to be a lattice $L$ equipped with a map $d:L\to L$ that satisfies a lattice analog of the Leibniz rule for a derivation. Isomorphic differential lattices are studied and classifications…
We demonstrate that the Ising model on a general triangular graph with 3 distinct couplings $K_1,K_2,K_3$ corresponds to an affine transformed conformal field theory (CFT). Full conformal invariance of the $c= 1/2$ minimal CFT is restored…
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that…
We consider partial matchings, which are finite graphs consisting of edges and vertices of degree zero or one. We consider transformations between two states of partial matchings. We introduce a method of presenting a transformation between…
In this paper we model discontinuous extended real functions in pointfree topology following a lattice-theoretic approach, in such a way that, if $L$ is a subfit frame, arbitrary extended real functions on $L$ are the elements of the…
We propose a lattice counterpart of diffeomorphism symmetry in the continuum. A functional integral for quantum gravity is regularized on a discrete set of space-time points, with fermionic or bosonic lattice fields. When the space-time…
Heterogeneous materials abound in nature and man-made situations. Examples include porous media, biological materials, and composite materials. Diverse and interesting properties exhibited by these materials result from their complex…
In this work, we examine one two-parameter family of sets consisting of functions holomorphic in the unit disk, previously investigated by several mathematicians. We focus on the set-theoretic properties of this family, identify the general…
We study conformal Ward-Takahashi identities for two-point functions in $d(\geq3)$-dimensional finite-temperature conformal field theory. We first show that the conformal Ward-Takahashi identities can be translated into the intertwining…
Meta-conformal transformations are constructed as sets of time-space transformations which are not angle-preserving but contain time- and space translations, time-space dilatations with dynamical exponent ${z}=1$ and whose Lie algebras…
A vertical 2-sum of a two-coatom lattice $L$ and a two-atom lattice $U$ is obtained by removing the top of $L$ and the bottom of $U$, and identifying the coatoms of $L$ with the atoms of $U$. This operation creates one or two nonisomorphic…
The lattice definition of a two-dimensional topological field theory (TFT) is given generically, and the exact solution is obtained explicitly. In particular, the set of all lattice topological field theories is shown to be in one-to-one…
