Flux correlators and semiclassics

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Eren Clément Firat, Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global U(1) charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically admit a semiclassica ...

Identifying Large Charge operators

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel

The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on U(1) invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the spectrum of spinning l ...

More on the operator-state map in nonrelativistic CFTs

Alexander Monin

We propose an algebraic construction of the operator-state correspondence in nonrelativistic conformal field theories by explicitly constructing an automorphism of the Schrodinger algebra relating generators in different frames. It is shown that the constr ...

Gapped Goldstones at the cut-off scale: a non-relativistic EFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Angelo Esposito, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

At finite density, the spontaneous breakdown of an internal non-Abelian symmetry dictates, along with gapless modes, modes whose gap is fixed by the algebra and proportional to the chemical potential: the gapped Goldstones. Generically the gap of these sta ...

Feynman diagrams and the large charge expansion in 3-epsilon dimensions

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

In arXiv:1909.01269 it was shown that the scaling dimension of the lightest charge n operator in the U (1) model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in D = 4 - epsilon can be computed semiclassically for arbitrary values of lambda n, where lambda is the pertu ...

The epsilon expansion meets semiclassics

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

We study the scaling dimension Delta(phi n) of the operator phi(n) where phi is the fundamental complex field of the U(1) model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in d = 4 - epsilon. Even for a perturbatively small fixed point coupling lambda*, standard pert ...

Semiclassics, Goldstone bosons and CFT data

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, David Pirtskhalava, Fiona Katharina Seibold

Hellerman et al. (arXiv:1505.01537) have shown that in a generic CFT the spectrum of operators carrying a large U(1) charge can be analyzed semiclassically in an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. The key is the operator state correspondence by whi ...

Gauging nonrelativistic field theories using the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

We discuss how nonrelativistic spacetime symmetries can be gauged in the context of the coset construction. We consider theories invariant under the centrally extended Galilei algebra as well as the Lifshitz one, and we investigate under what conditions th ...

Weyl vs. conformal

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

In this note we show that given a conformally invariant theory in flat space-time, it is not always possible to couple it to gravity in a Weyl invariant way. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY li ...
