The Yang-Lee edge singularity is a prototypical example of the application of renormalization group ideas to critical behavior, and one to which Michael Fisher made several important contributions. Moreover it has connections to several other problems such as the statistics of branched polymers, and its scaling limit in two dimensions provides a simple example of integrable field theory. This article aims to give a pedagogical introduction to these matters, with a few new ideas thrown in.

  1. Flowing from the Ising Model on the Fuzzy Sphere to the 3D Lee-Yang CFT

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A fuzzy sphere Ising model with an imaginary longitudinal magnetic field reproduces the spectrum of the 3D Lee-Yang CFT at its critical point.

  2. Simulating the non-unitary Yang-Lee conformal field theory on the fuzzy sphere

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    By tuning a non-Hermitian quantum Hall Hamiltonian on a sphere, the authors obtain a conformal spectrum consistent with the (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Lee CFT and extract conformal data, including one previously unreporte...

  3. Critical and multicritical Lee-Yang fixed points in the local potential approximation

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the local potential approximation, the Lee-Yang fixed point of iφ^3 theory is followed to d=2 with few-percent-accurate scaling dimensions, while multicritical iφ^{2n+1} fixed points annihilate with new non-perturb...

  4. Testing the RG-flow $M(3,10)+\phi_{1,7}\to M(3,8)$ with Hamiltonian Truncation

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hamiltonian truncation with counterterms through third order supports the conjectured RG flow M(3,10)+φ_{1,7}→M(3,8), though the evidence is fit-based and not fully converged.

  5. Complex nonlinear sigma model

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Complexifying the coupling in nonlinear sigma models yields generic complex-conjugate fixed points with complex scaling dimensions and spiral renormalization-group flows across all tenfold symmetry classes.
