Cardy-Kunji Fixed Point

The Cardy-Kunji fixed point refers to a concept in theoretical physics related to systems at critical points where phase changes occur, such as between different states of matter. It describes a special point where certain symmetries and properties remain stable under scale transformations—meaning the system looks similar at different sizes or energies. Think of it like a city layout that looks the same whether you see it from afar or up close. This concept helps physicists understand the universal behavior of materials near phase transitions, providing insights into quantum systems, statistical mechanics, and conformal field theories.
