Abstract:
We show that rational conformal field theories in 1+1 dimensions on a Klein bottle, with a length L and width β, satisfying L≫β, have a universal entropy. This universal entropy depends on the quantum dimensions of the primary fields and can be accurately extracted by taking a proper ratio between the Klein bottle and torus partition functions, enabling the characterization of conformal critical theories. The result is checked against exact calculations in quantum spin-1/2 XY and Ising chains.

When an ideal gas expands isothermally, the disorder in the gas increases. From the molecular perspective, the gas molecules have more volume to move around in.
Consider an infinitesimal step in the expansion, which...
