Discreteness and integrality in Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Various observables in compact CFTs are required to obey positivity, discreteness, and integrality. Positivity forms the crux of the conformal bootstrap, but understanding of the abstract implications of discreteness and integrality for the space of CFTs

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.

On the Real Part of a Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Universe, 2018 Every conformal field theory has the symmetry of taking each field to its adjoint. We consider here the quotient (orbifold) conformal field theory obtained by twisting with respect to this symmetry.

Conformal field theory in conformal space [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1999 We present a new framework for a Lagrangian description of conformal field theories in various dimensions based on a local version of d+2-dimensional conformal space. The results include a true gauge theory of conformal gravity in d=(1,3) and any standard matter coupled to it.

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. Two-point functions of a bulk and a defect primary are fixed by conformal invariance up to a set of OPE coefficients,

Twin conformal field theories [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Abstract Supersymmetric theories with the same bosonic content but different fermions, aka twins, were thought to exist only for supergravity. Here we show that pairs of super conformal field theories, for example exotic $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N

Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 The loss of criticality in the form of weak first-order transitions or the end of the conformal window in gauge theories can be described as the merging of two fixed points that move to complex values of the couplings. When the complex fixed points are close to the real axis, the system typically exhibits walking behavior with Miransky (or Berezinsky ...

Conformal field theories are magical [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2021 "Magic" is the degree to which a state cannot be approximated by Clifford gates. We study mana, a measure of magic, in the ground state of the $\mathbb Z_3$ Potts model, and argue that it is a broadly useful diagnostic for many-body physics. In particular we find that the $q = 3$ ground state has large mana at the model's critical point, and that this ...
