Applications of dispersive sum rules: epsilon-expansion and holography

Alexander Zhiboedov, João Pedro Alves Da Silva, Din Carmi

We use Mellin space dispersion relations together with Polyakov conditions to derive a family of sum rules for Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). The defining property of these sum rules is suppression of the contribution of the double twist operators. First ...

Complex Analysis meets Statistical Mechanics: Applications to Kernel Methods and Conformal Field Theory

Francesco Spadaro

This thesis is centered on questions coming from Machine Learning (ML) and Statistical Field Theory (SFT).In Machine Learning, we consider the subfield of Supervised Learning (SL), and in particular regression tasks where one tries to find a regressor that ...

In this letter, we discuss certain universal predictions of the large charge expansion in conformal field theories with U (1) symmetry, mainly focusing on four-dimensional theories. We show that, while in three dimensions quantum fluctuations are responsib ...

Bootstrapping Heisenberg magnets and their cubic instability

Alessandro Vichi, Ning Su

We study the critical O(3) model using the numerical conformal bootstrap. In particular, we use a recently developed cutting-surface algorithm to efficiently map out the allowed space of conformal field theory data from correlators involving the leading O( ...

Conformal 3-Point Functions and the Lorentzian OPE in Momentum Space

Marc Gillioz

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion (OPE), we show that t ...

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 ...

EPFL2020

We study some aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature in momentum space. We provide a formula for the Fourier transform of a thermal conformal block and study its analytic properties. In particular we show that the Fourier transform vanis ...

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 ...

Colliders and conformal interfaces

Marco Meineri, Antonin Tancrède Amaury Rousset

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 ...

SPRINGER2020

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 ...
