Light-ray operators in conformal field theory
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.

Logarithmic bulk and boundary conformal field theory and the full centre construction [PDF]
, 2014 We review the definition of bulk and boundary conformal field theory in a way suited for logarithmic conformal field theory. The notion of a maximal bulk theory which can be non-degenerately joined to a boundary theory is defined.

Quantum gravity from conformal field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We bootstrap loop corrections to AdS5 supergravity amplitudes by enforcing the consistency of the known classical results with the operator product expansion of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super Yang-Mills theory.

Dynamics of R-neutral Ramond fields in the D1-D5 SCFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We describe the effect of the marginal deformation of the N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (4, 4) super-conformal (T 4) N /S N orbifold theory on a doublet of R-neutral twisted Ramond fields, in the large-N approximation. Our analysis of their dynamics explores the

Conformal Field Theory and Hyperbolic Geometry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1994 We examine the correspondence between the conformal field theory of boundary operators and two-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. By consideration of domain boundaries in two-dimensional critical systems, and the invariance of the hyperbolic length, we motivate a reformulation of the basic equation of conformal covariance.

Conformal Field Theories in Fractional Dimensions [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We study the conformal bootstrap in fractional space-time dimensions, obtaining rigorous bounds on operator dimensions. Our results show strong evidence that there is a family of unitary CFTs connecting the 2D Ising model, the 3D Ising model, and the free scalar theory in 4D. We give numerical predictions for the leading operator dimensions and central

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 ...

Introduction to Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
Proceedings of Eighth Modave Summer School in Mathematical Physics — PoS(Modave VIII), 2013 An elementary introduction to Conformal Field Theory is provided. We start by reviewing symmetries in classical and quantum field theories and the associated existence of conserved currents by Noether’s theorem. Next we describe general facts on conformal invariance in d dimensions and finish with the analysis of the special case d = 2, including an ...
