Exact Generalized Partition Function Of 2d Cfts At Large Central Charge, Anatoly Dymarsky, Kirill Pavlenko May 2019

Exact Generalized Partition Function Of 2d Cfts At Large Central Charge, Anatoly Dymarsky, Kirill Pavlenko

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We discuss generalized partition function of 2d CFTs on thermal cylinder decorated by higher qKdV charges. We propose that in the large central charge limit qKdV charges factorize such that generalized partition function can be rewritten in terms of auxiliary non-interacting bosons. The explicit expression for the generalized free energy is readily available in terms of the boson spectrum, which can be deduced from the conventional thermal expectation values of qKdV charges. In other words, the picture of the auxiliary non-interacting bosons allows extending thermal one-point functions to the full non-perturbative generalized partition function. We verify this conjecture for the …


Generalized Gibbs Ensemble Of 2d Cfts At Large Central Charge In The Thermodynamic Limit, Anatoly Dymarsky, Kirill Pavlenko Jan 2019

Generalized Gibbs Ensemble Of 2d Cfts At Large Central Charge In The Thermodynamic Limit, Anatoly Dymarsky, Kirill Pavlenko

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We discuss partition function of 2d CFTs decorated by higher qKdV charges in the thermodynamic limit when the size of the spatial circle goes to infinity. In this limit the saddle point approximation is exact and at infinite central charge generalized partition function can be calculated explicitly. We show that leading 1/c corrections to free energy can be reformulated as a sum over Young tableaux which we calculate for the first two qKdV charges. Next, we compare generalized ensemble with the “eigenstate ensemble” that consists of a single primary state. At infinite central charge the ensembles match at the …
