报告摘要：

Infinite uniform tensor network states are believed to describe gapped quantum phases faithfully. For critical states, a finite entanglement cutoff/scaling has to be applied, which was conjectured to connect a deformed CFT in 1+1d. We extend our previous study to thermal systems, in which the inverse temperature serves as the finite length scale. We argue that as long as the inverse temperature smaller than the finite-entanglement induced scale, the entanglement Hamiltonian in the thermal MPS is also effectively a BCFT with an entanglement and a physical conformal boundary condition. Compared with the finite entanglement scaling, a key difference is that due to the thermal effect, the physical conformal boundary has to respect the full non-anomalous symmetry of the lattice model. In the low-temperature limit, the thermal MPS becomes non-injective and the system enters the finite entanglement scaling regime. We also discuss boundary critical behavior in physical systems with explicit physical boundaries in the thermal MPS framework.
