The partition function does not factorize holomorphically, and at the chiral point it has the structure expected from a logarithmic conformal field theory. This gives strong evidence for the proposal that the dual conformal field theory to TMG at the chiral point is indeed logarithmic. We also generalize our results to new massive gravity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-09-07T15:08:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "partition function", "logarithmic conformal field theory", "dual conformal field theory", "chiral point", "heat kernel techniques" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Journal of High Energy Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "Nov", "volume": 2010, "pages": 94 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 863609, "adsabs": "2010JHEP...11..094G" } } }
