Cohomology in singular blocks of parabolic category O

We determine the dimensions of Ext -groups between simple modules and dual generalized Verma modules in singular blocks of parabolic versions of category O for complex semisimple Lie algebras and affine Kac-Moody algebras. ...

Twist Accumulation in Conformal Field Theory: A Rigorous Approach to the Lightcone Bootstrap

Jiaxin Qiao

We prove that in any unitary CFT, a twist gap in the spectrum of operator product expansion (OPE) of identical scalar quasiprimary operators (i.e. phi x phi) implies the existence of a family of quasiprimary operators O t,l with spins l ->.infinity and twi ...

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 ...

Conformal Field Theory at the Lattice Level: Discrete Complex Analysis and Virasoro Structure

Clément Hongler

Critical statistical mechanics and Conformal Field Theory (CFT) are conjecturally connected since the seminal work of Beliavin et al. (Nucl Phys B 241(2):333-380, 1984). Both exhibit exactly solvable structures in two dimensions. A long-standing question ( ...

On minimal tilting complexes in highest weight categories

Jonathan Gruber

We explain the construction of minimal tilting complexes for objects of highest weight categories and we study in detail the minimal tilting complexes for standard objects and simple objects. For certain categories of representations of complex simple Lie ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Iwona Swiderska, Kun-Han Lin, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Hélène Wu

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...

Colliders and conformal interfaces

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Antonin Tancrède Amaury Rousset, Marco Meineri

We set up a scattering experiment of matter against an impurity which separates two generic one-dimensional critical quantum systems. We compute the flux of reflected and transmitted energy, thus defining a precise measure of the transparency of the interf ...

A conformal dispersion relation: correlations from absorption

Din Carmi

We introduce the analog of Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations for correlators of four scalar operators in an arbitrary conformal field theory. The correlator is expressed as an integral over its "absorptive part", defined as a double discontinuity, times ...

Differential operators for superconformal correlation functions

Andrea Manenti

We present a systematic method to expand in components four dimensional superconformal multiplets. The results cover all possible N = 1 multiplets and some cases of interest for N = 2. As an application of the formalism we prove that certain N = 2 spinning ...

Bootstrapping superconformal field theories in four dimensions

Andrea Manenti

The conformal bootstrap is a non-perturbative technique designed to study conformal field theories using only first principles, such as unitarity, crossing symmetry and the existence of an Operator Product Expansion. In this thesis we discuss an applicatio ...
