Abstract

The corrections to the finite-size scaling behaviour of the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of a critical theory defined on an infinitely long strip of finite width, which occur when the Hamiltonian contains a marginal operator, are computed using conformal invariance. They show a calculable universal logarithmic character. For the four-state Potts model they agree with numerical data.
