Radial marginal perturbation of two-dimensional systems and conformal invariance
Abstract
The conformal mapping w=(L/2π) z transforms the critical plane with a radial perturbation αρ-y into a cylinder with width L and a constant deviation α(2π/L)y from the bulk critical point when the decay exponent y is such that the perturbation is marginal. From the known behavior of the homogeneous off-critical system on the cylinder, one may deduce the correlation functions and defect exponents on the perturbed plane. The results are supported by an exact solution for the Gaussian model.
