abstract

We show that rational conformal field theories in 1+1 dimensions on a Klein bottle, with length $L$ and width $\beta$, satisfying $L \gg \beta$, have a universal entropy. This universal entropy is a topological invariant depending 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 a characterization of conformal critical theories. The result is checked against exact calculations in quantum spin-1/2 XY and Ising chains.

No boundary density matrix in elliptic de Sitter dS/$\mathbb{Z}_2$

hep-th · 2025-11-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

The Euclidean path integral on elliptic de Sitter defines a no-boundary density matrix whose entropies reduce to vertex operator correlators on non-orientable surfaces, with a one-dimensional global Hilbert space but nontrivial observer Fock spaces.
