The role of leading twist operators in the Regge and Lorentzian OPE limits

We study two kinematical limits, the Regge limit and the Lorentzian OPE limit, of the four-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet in Super Yang-Mills at weak coupling. We explain how both kinematical limits are controlled by the leading twist operat ...

Carving out the space of 4D CFTs

Alessandro Vichi

We introduce a new numerical algorithm based on semidefinite programming to efficiently compute bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPT coefficients in 4D conformal and N = 1 superconformal field theories. Using our algorithm, we dramatical ...

A lattice in more than two Kac–Moody groups is arithmetic

Nicolas Monod

Let Gamma be an irreducible lattice in a product of n infinite irreducible complete Kac–Moody groups of simply laced type over finite fields. We show that if n>2, then each Kac–Moody groups is in fact a simple algebraic group over a local field and Gamma i ...

An Isotropic Auxetic Structural Network with Limited Shear Stiffness

Alessandro Spadoni

The chiral lattice is a unique structural network not symmetric to its mirror image, and with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Previous investigations have considered this structural network for the design of superior structural components with sandwich constru ...

Deep inelastic scattering in conformal QCD

We consider the Regge limit of a CFT correlation function of two vector and two scalar operators, as appropriate to study small-x deep inelastic scattering in N = 4 SYM or in QCD assuming approximate conformal symmetry. After clarifying the nature of the R ...

Bounding scalar operator dimensions in 4D CFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Vichi

In an arbitrary unitary 4D CFT we consider a scalar operator phi, and the operator phi(2) defined as the lowest dimension scalar which appears in the OPE phi x phi with a nonzero coefficient. Using general considerations of OPE, conformal block decompositi ...

Gauge and gravitational anomalies in D=4 N=1 orientifolds

Claudio Scrucca

The cancellation of U(1)-gauge and U(1)-gravitational anomalies in certain D = 4 N = 1 type-IIB orientifolds is analyzed in detail, from a string theory point of view. We verify the proposal that these anomalies are cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism i ...

Black holes as D3-branes on Calabi-Yau threefolds

Claudio Scrucca

We show how an extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole can be obtained by wrapping a dyonic D3-brane on a Calabi-Yau manifold. In the orbifold limit T-6/Z(3), We explicitly show the correspondence between the solution of the supergravity equations of motion ...
