, 2010 Abstract The present chapter is an introductory account of the basic concepts and important consequences of conformal symmetry, i.e. the invariance under local scale transformations, in field theories characterizing critical behaviour. The goal is to catalogue universality classes as a list of possible values of critical exponents and to

Quark-antiquark potential in defect conformal field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We consider antiparallel Wilson lines in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills in the presence of a codimension-1 defect. We compute the Wilson lines’ expectation value both at weak coupling, in the gauge theory, and at strong coupling, by finding the

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A new class of sulfur‐free, oxygen‐bridged dibenzofuran‐based polymers is developed for ultrahigh‐refractive‐index applications. The rigid π‐extended architecture and enhanced molecular polarizability enable exceptional optical performance, combining refractive indices up to 1.848 with high Abbe numbers and full visible transparency. This work offers a

EPFL lectures on conformal field theory in D ≥ 3 dimensions
, 2016 This is a writeup of lectures given at the EPFL Lausanne in the fall of 2012. The topics covered: physical foundations of conformal symmetry, conformal kinematics, radial quantization and the OPE, and a very basic introduction to conformal bootstrap.This

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Conformal mapping of non-Lorentzian geometries in SU(1, 2) Conformal Field Theory
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe realize an explicit conformal mapping between the state and operator pictures in a class of (2 + 1)-dimensional non-Lorentzian field theories with SU(1, 2) × U(1) conformal symmetry.

Reversible Tuning of Multiple Molecular Kinking for Stem Cell Regulation In Vivo
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, we introduce the novel concept of background component‐free “multiple kinks” material platform composed solely of liganded multiple kink‐bearing molecules as a strategy for dynamic biomaterial design. Tri‐kink molecules enable effective near‐infrared light‐triggered ligand masking and visible light‐triggered ligand exposure, thereby ...

The exact s-matrices of affine toda field theories [PDF]
, 1990 This thesis is concerned with exact solutions to various massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions.Two approaches are described. The first, abstract and non-lagrangian, relies on the considerable understanding that there now is of massless two-dimensional

de Sitter locality from conformal field theory
Journal of High Energy PhysicsAn important insight from the study of AdS/CFT is that bulk locality can be derived from crossing symmetry of the boundary CFT. In this paper, we take the first steps in extending this statement to de Sitter background by demonstrating how to reconstruct
