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 ...

Where is M-theory in the space of scattering amplitudes?

Andrea Guerrieri

We use the S-matrix bootstrap to carve out the space of unitary, analytic, crossing symmetric and supersymmetric graviton scattering amplitudes in nine, ten and eleven dimensions. We extend and improve the numerical methods of our previous work in ten dime ...

Quantum Field Theory in AdS Space instead of Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmerman Axioms

Xiang Zhao

The boundary correlation functions for a quantum field theory (QFT) in a fixed anti-de Sitter (AdS) background should reduce to S-matrix elements in the flat-space limit. We consider this procedure in detail for four-point functions. With minimal assumptio ...

QFT without infinities and hierarchy problem

Sander Johannes Nicolaas Mooij

The standard way to do computations in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) often results in the requirement of dramatic cancellations between contributions induced by a "heavy" sector into the physical observables of the "light" (or low energy) sector - the phenome ...

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Kamran Salehi Vaziri

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) as one of the most promising frameworks to study high energy and condensed matter physics, has been mostly developed by perturbative methods. However, perturbative methods can only capture a small island of the space of QFTs.QFT i ...

Semiclassical methods in conformal field theories scrutinized by the epsilon-expansion

Gil Badel

Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...

Two-point functions and bootstrap applications in quantum field theories

Denis Karateev

We study two-point functions of local operators and their spectral representation in UV complete quantum field theories in generic dimensions focusing on conserved currents and the stress-tensor. We establish the connection with the central charges of the ...

Bounds on photon scattering

Denis Karateev, Kelian Philippe Häring, Marco Meineri, Aditya Hebbar

We study 2-to-2 scattering amplitudes of massless spin one particles in

d=4

space-time dimensions, like real world photons. We define a set of non-perturbative observables (Wilson coefficients) which describe these amplitudes at low energies. We use full ...

IR side of positivity bounds

Francesco Riva, Brando Bellazzini, Marc Riembau Saperas

We show how calculable IR loop effects impact positivity bounds in effective field theories with causal and unitary UV completions. We identify infrared singularities that appear in dispersion relations at |t| less than or similar to m(2). In the massless ...

Extremal Distance And Conformal Radius Of A Cle4 Loop

Juhan Aru, Titus Lupu

Consider CLE4 in the unit disk, and let l be the loop of the CLE4 surrounding the origin. Schramm, Sheffield and Wilson determined the law of the conformal radius seen from the origin of the domain surrounded by l. We complement their result by determining ...
