A vacuum in conformal theory can be defined as a state where correlation functions of primary operators take a particularly simple form. Another definition is being annihilated by all local Virasoro generators Ln with n>−2. Can a mixed state with similar properties exist (except for ρ=|0⟩⟨0| of course)? In particular, can one find an example of a density matrix ρ for which some basis of local fields VΔ has the usual form of correlators? For example for two-point functions this should be something like
Tr(ρVΔ(z1)VΔ(z2))∝1(z1−z2)2Δ
and similarly for 3-point functions etc. Potentially the definitions of the primary operators and/or their dimensions might be different from the original theory. Any hints and pointers are welcome!
