Holographic Complex Conformal Field Theories [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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 defects from string field theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Unlike conformal boundary conditions, conformal defects of Virasoro minimal models lack classification. Alternatively to the defect perturbation theory and the truncated conformal space approach, we employ open string field theory (OSFT) techniques to ...

AdS field theory from conformal field theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2013
Abstract We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Conformal Field Theory to have a description in terms of a perturbative Effective Field Theory in AdS. The first two conditions are well-known: the existence of a perturbative ‘1/N ’ expansion and an approximate Fock space of states generated by a finite number of low ...

Conformal field theory in conformal space [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear 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.

Complexity of warped conformal field theory

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
Warped conformal field theories in two dimensions are exotic nonlocal, Lorentz violating field theories characterized by Virasoro–Kac–Moody symmetries and have attracted a lot of attention as candidate boundary duals to warped AdS $$_3$$ 3 spacetimes ...

Elements of celestial conformal field theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
In celestial holography, four-dimensional scattering amplitudes are considered as two-dimensional conformal correlators of a putative two-dimensional celestial conformal field theory (CCFT).

A note on commutation relation in conformal field theory

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this note, we explicitly compute the vacuum expectation value of the commutator of scalar fields in a d-dimensional conformal field theory on the cylinder.

On the dynamics of protected ramond ground states in the D1-D5 CFT

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We examine the behavior of the Ramond ground states in the D1-D5 CFT after a deformation of the free-orbifold sigma model on target space ( T 4 $$ {\mathbbm{T}}^4 $$ ) N /S N by a marginal interaction operator.
