We introduce Mellin amplitudes for correlation functions of k scalar operators and one operator with spin in conformal field theories (CFT) in general dimension. We show that Mellin amplitudes for scalar operators have simple poles with residues that facto ...
We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an index-free notation where tensors are encoded by polynomials in auxiliary polarization vectors. The ...
The thesis represents an investigation into Conformal Field Theories (CFT's) in arbitrary dimensions. We propose an innovative method to extract informations about CFT's in a quantitative way. Studying the crossing symmetry of the four point function of sc ...
Most two-dimensional massless field theories carry represe ntations of the Virasoro algebra as consequences of their conformal symmetry. Recently, conformal symmetry has been rigorously established for scaling limit s of lattice models by means of discrete ...
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will form the largest radio telescope ever built, generating on the order of one terabyte of data per second. To reduce the data flow sent to the central processor, hierarchical designs have been proposed: the data is prima ...
We study the 2-dimensional Ising model at critical temperature on a smooth simply-connected graph Ω.We rigorously prove the conformal invariance of arbitrary spin-pattern probabilities centered at a point a and derive formulas to compute the probabilities ...
We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...
For conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a method to derive the conformal blocks corresponding to the exchange of a traceless symmetric tensor appearing in four point functions of operators with spin. Using the embedding space for ...
A widespread method for gyrokinetic simulations relies on the discretization of distribution functions with numerical markers. The electromagnetic field is typically represented on a grid by finite differences or finite elements (Particle-In-Cell, PIC). Wh ...
The large sieve inequalities for algebraic trace functions are considered in this article. A fundamental iterative relation is established by classical Fourier analysis, and l-adic Fourier analysis and multiplicative convolutions of sheaves are also requir ...
