Conformal anomaly and scaling dimensions of the O(n) model from an exact solution on the honeycomb lattice

Abstract

The critical O(n) model on a finite honeycomb lattice is solved by the Bethe-Ansatz method. Amplitudes of the dominant finite-size corrections to part of the eigenspectrum are obtained analytically. A comparison with Cardy's predictions from the theory of conformal invariance leads to the exact results for the conformal anomaly and scaling dimensions. Show more
