The analytic bootstrap equations of non-diagonal two-dimensional CFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Under the assumption that degenerate fields exist, diagonal CFTs such as Liouville theory can be solved analytically using the conformal bootstrap method. Here we generalize this approach to non-diagonal CFTs, i.e.

Wronskian indices and rational conformal field theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The classification scheme for rational conformal field theories, given by the Mathur-Mukhi-Sen (MMS) program, identifies a rational conformal field theory by two numbers: (n, l). n is the number of characters of the rational conformal field theory.

Cut-touching linear functionals in the conformal bootstrap
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 The modern conformal bootstrap program often employs the method of linear functionals to derive the numerical or analytical bounds on the CFT data. These functionals must have a crucial “swapping” property, allowing to swap infinite summation with the ...

Classifying three-character RCFTs with Wronskian index equalling 0 or 2
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In the modular linear differential equation (MLDE) approach to classifying rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) both the MLDE and the RCFT are identified by a pair of non-negative integers [n,l].

Quest for the Dynamical Origin of Mass - An LHC perspective from Sakata, Nambu and Maskawa [PDF]
, 2009 I review the dynamical symmetry breaking (DSB) approach to the Origin of Mass, which is traced back to the original (2008 Nobel prize) work of Nambu based on the BCS analogue of superconductor where mass of nucleon (then elementary particle) arises due ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study the Virasoro conformal block decomposition of the genus two partition function of a two-dimensional CFT by expanding around a ℤ3-invariant Riemann surface that is a three-fold cover of the Riemann sphere branched at four points, and explore ...

Dimensional reduction of higher-point conformal blocks
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Recently, with the help of Parisi-Sourlas supersymmetry an intriguing relation was found expressing the four-point scalar conformal block of a (d − 2)-dimensional CFT in terms of a five-term linear combination of blocks of a d-dimensional CFT, with ...

Crossing, modular averages and N ↔ k in WZW models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We consider the construction of genus zero correlators of SU(N ) k WZW models involving two Kac-Moody primaries in the fundamental and two in the anti-fundamental representation from modular averaging of the contribution of the vacuum conformal block. We

Conformal four-point correlation functions from the operator product expansion
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We show how to compute conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations using the formalism described in [1, 2] and present several explicit examples of blocks derived via this method.

Conformal theory of gravitation and cosmology
, 2020 The postulate of universal local Weyl scaling (conformal) symmetry modifies both general relativity and the Higgs scalar field model. Conformal gravity (CG) has recently been fitted to rotation data for 138 galaxies.
