Nontrivial critical models in 2D with a central charge c=0 are described by logarithmic conformal field theories (LCFTs), and exhibit, in particular, mixing of the stress-energy tensor with a "logarithmic" partner under a conformal transformation. This mixing is quantified by a parameter (usually denoted b), introduced in Gurarie [Nucl. Phys. …
