Defects in conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016
We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of symmetric traceless tensors in the presence of the defect.

Geometry of complexity in conformal field theory [PDF]

Physical Review Research, 2020
We initiate quantitative studies of complexity in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories with a view that they provide the simplest setting to find a gravity dual to complexity.

Decoherence in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Noise sources are ubiquitous in Nature and give rise to a description of quantum systems in terms of stochastic Hamiltonians. Decoherence dominates the noise-averaged dynamics and leads to dephasing and the decay of coherences in the eigenbasis of the ...

Light-ray operators in conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We argue that every CFT contains light-ray operators labeled by a continuous spin J. When J is a positive integer, light-ray operators become integrals of local operators over a null line.

Spinons in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Nuclear Physics B, 1994
We study the $su(2)$ conformal field theory in its spinon description, adapted to the Yangian invariance. By evaluating the action of the Yangian generators on the primary fields, we find a new connection between this conformal field theory and the ...

Irrational Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Physics Reports, 1995
This is a review of irrational conformal field theory, which includes rational conformal field theory as a small subspace. Central topics of the review include the Virasoro master equation, its solutions and the dynamics of irrational conformal field ...

Hecke relations in rational conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We define Hecke operators on vector-valued modular forms of the type that appear as characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs). These operators extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of the modular representation and fusion algebra of

Genus-one string amplitudes from conformal field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We explore and exploit the relation between non-planar correlators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super-Yang-Mills, and higher-genus closed string amplitudes in type IIB string theory.

Axiomatic Conformal Field Theory [PDF]

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1998
A new rigorous approach to conformal field theory is presented. The basic objects are families of complex-valued amplitudes, which define a meromorphic conformal field theory (or chiral algebra) and which lead naturally to the definition of topological ...

Conformal field theory complexity from Euler-Arnold equations [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Defining complexity in quantum field theory is a difficult task, and the main challenge concerns going beyond free models and associated Gaussian states and operations.
