The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a powerful tool to describe fractal interfaces in 2D critical statistical systems. Yet the application of SLE is well established for statistical systems described by quantum field theories satisfying only conformal invariance, the so called minimal conformal field theories (CFTs). We consider interfaces in Z(N) spin models at their self-dual critical point for N=4 and N=5. These lattice models are described in the continuum limit by non-minimal CFTs where the role of a Z_N symmetry, in addition to the conformal one, should be taken into account. We provide numerical results on the fractal dimension of the interfaces which are SLE candidates for non-minimal CFTs. Our results are in excellent agreement with some recent theoretical predictions.

In this paper we statistically analyze the Fokker-Planck (FP) equation of Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) and its variant SLE($kappa,rho_c$). After exploring the derivation and the properties of the Langevin equation of the tip of the SLE trace, we o
btain the long and short time behaviors of the chordal SLE traces. We analyze the solutions of the FP and the corresponding Langevin equations and connect it to the conformal field theory (CFT) and present some exact results. We find the perturbative FP equation of the SLE($kappa,rho_c$) traces and show that it is related to the higher order correlation functions. Using the Langevin equation we find the long-time behaviors in this case. The CFT correspondence of this case is established and some exact results are presented.
We investigate the behavior of the return amplitude ${cal F}(t)= |langlePsi(0)|Psi(t)rangle|$ following a quantum quench in a conformal field theory (CFT) on a compact spatial manifold of dimension $d-1$ and linear size $O(L)$, from a state $|Psi(0)r
angle$ of extensive energy with short-range correlations. After an initial gaussian decay ${cal F}(t)$ reaches a plateau value related to the density of available states at the initial energy. However for $d=3,4$ this value is attained from below after a single oscillation. For a holographic CFT the plateau persists up to times at least $O(sigma^{1/(d-1)} L)$, where $sigmagg1$ is the dimensionless Stefan-Boltzmann constant. On the other hand for a free field theory on manifolds with high symmetry there are typically revivals at times $tsimmbox{integer}times L$. In particular, on a sphere $S_{d-1}$ of circumference $2pi L$, there is an action of the modular group on ${cal F}(t)$ implying structure near all rational values of $t/L$, similarly to what happens for rational CFTs in $d=2$.
We review the imaginary time path integral approach to the quench dynamics of conformal field theories. We show how this technique can be applied to the determination of the time dependence of correlation functions and entanglement entropy for both g
lobal and local quenches. We also briefly review other quench protocols. We carefully discuss the limits of applicability of these results to realistic models of condensed matter and cold atoms.
We reconsider the moments of the reduced density matrix of two disjoint intervals and of its partial transpose with respect to one interval for critical free fermionic lattice models. It is known that these matrices are sums of either two or four Gau
ssian matrices and hence their moments can be reconstructed as computable sums of products of Gaussian operators. We find that, in the scaling limit, each term in these sums is in one-to-one correspondence with the partition function of the corresponding conformal field theory on the underlying Riemann surface with a given spin structure. The analytical findings have been checked against numerical results for the Ising chain and for the XX spin chain at the critical point.
We study the energy level spacing of perturbed conformal minimal models in finite volume, considering perturbations of such models that are massive but not necessarily integrable. We compute their spectrum using a renormalization group improved trunc
ated conformal spectrum approach. With this method we are able to study systems where more than 40000 states are kept and where we determine the energies of the lowest several thousand eigenstates with high accuracy. We find, as expected, that the level spacing statistics of integrable perturbed minimal models are Poissonian while the statistics of non-integrable perturbations are GOE-like. However by varying the system size (and so controlling the positioning of the theory between its IR and UV limits) one can induce crossovers between the two statistical distributions.
