Motivated by recent experimental progress in the context of ultracold multicolor fermionic atoms in optical lattices, we have investigated the properties of the SU (N) Heisenberg chain with totally antisymmetric irreducible representations, the effective m ...
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 ...
This thesis explores two aspects of the renormalization group (RG) in quantum field theory (QFT). In the first part we study the structure of RG flows in general Poincaré-invariant, unitary QFTs, and in particular the irreversibility properties and the rel ...
We derive model-independent lower bounds on the stress tensor central charge C-T in terms of the operator content of a 4-dimensional conformal field theory. More precisely, C-T is bounded from below by a universal function of the dimensions of the lowest a ...
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 ...
This paper develops a method to compute any bosonic conformal block as a series expansion in the optimal radial coordinate introduced by Hogervorst and Rychkov. The method reduces to the known result when the external operators are all the same scalar oper ...
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 ...
We clarify questions related to the convergence of the operator product expansion and conformal block decomposition in unitary conformal field theories (for any number of spacetime dimensions). In particular, we explain why these expansions are convergent ...
We present a recently developed method to constrain the anomalous dimension of scalar operators in a general Conformal Field Theory (CFT). Using a consistency condition derived from four-point correlation functions it is possible to birid the anomalous dim ...
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 ...
