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 ...

Generalized Virasoro algebra: left-symmetry and related algebraic and hydrodynamic properties

Tudor Ratiu

Motivated by the work of Kupershmidt (J. Nonlin. Math. Phys. 6 (1998), 222 -245) we discuss the occurrence of left symmetry in a generalized Virasoro algebra. The multiplication rule is defined, which is necessary and sufficient for this algebra to be quas ...

Constraints on perturbative RG flows in six dimensions

Lorenzo Vitale

When conformal field theories (CFTs) are perturbed by marginally relevant deformations, renormalization group (RG) flows ensue that can be studied with perturbative methods, at least as long as they remain close to the original CFT. In this work we study s ...

Lattice Representations of the Virasoro Algebra I : Discrete Gaussian Free Field

Clément Hongler

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 ...

Some remarks on representations of Yang-Mills algebras

In this article, we present some new properties of representations of Yang-Mills algebras. We first show that any free Lie algebra with m generators is a quotient of the Yang-Mills algebra ym(n) on n generators, for n ≥ 2m. We derive from this that any sem ...

Operator product expansion convergence in conformal field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Johnny Espin Pais

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 ...

Descent properties of hermitian Witt groups in inseparable extensions

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Daniel Arnold Moldovan

Let k be a field of characteristic ≠2, A be a central simple algebra with involution σ over k and W(A,σ) be the associated Witt group of hermitian forms. We prove that for all purely inseparable extensions L of k, the canonical map rL/k:W(A,σ)⟶W(AL,σL) is ...

Central charge bounds in 4D conformal field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Vichi

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 ...

Spinning conformal blocks

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 ...

Bounds in 4D conformal field theories with global symmetry

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Vichi

We explore the constraining power of OPE associativity in 4D conformal field theory with a continuous global symmetry group. We give a general analysis of crossing symmetry constraints in the 4-point function , where phi is ...
