Conformal Invariance and the Yang-Lee Edge Singularity in Two Dimensions
Abstract
It is shown that very general features of the critical theory of the Yang-Lee edge singularity in two dimensions completely determine the way in which the theory realizes conformal invariance. This leads to the value $\ensuremath{\sigma}=\ensuremath{-}\frac{1}{6}$ for the edge exponent, and makes possible the calculation of the correlation functions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
