Minimal models

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In theoretical physics, the minimal models are a very concrete well-defined type of rational conformal field theory. The individual minimal models are parameterized by two integers p,q that are moreover related for the unitary minimal models. The first element of the sequence of the minimal models is the critical behavior of the Ising model, followed by the tricritical Ising model. There also exist supersymmetric minimal models.
