Markov Property of the Conformal Field Theory Vacuum and the a Theorem. [PDF]
We use strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy, Lorentz invariance, and the Markov property of the vacuum state of a conformal field theory to give new proof of the irreversibility of the renormalization group in d=4 space-time dimensions-the a ...

Spinning operators and defects in conformal field theory [PDF]
We study the kinematics of correlation functions of local and extended operators in a conformal field theory. We present a new method for constructing the tensor structures associated to primary operators in an arbitrary bosonic representation of the ...

Dynamics of R-neutral Ramond fields in the D1-D5 SCFT
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

Entanglement Hamiltonians in two-dimensional conformal field theory [PDF]
We enumerate the cases in 2d conformal field theory where the logarithm of the reduced density matrix (the entanglement or modular Hamiltonian) may be written as an integral over the energy-momentum tensor times a local weight.

Conformal field theory and the web of quantum chaos diagnostics [PDF]
We study three prominent diagnostics of chaos and scrambling in the context of two-dimensional conformal field theory: the spectral form factor, out-of-time-ordered correlators, and unitary operator entanglement.

Quantum Conformal Algebras and Closed Conformal Field Theory [PDF]
We investigate the quantum conformal algebras of N=2 and N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Phenomena occurring at strong coupling are analysed using the Nachtmann theorem and very general, model-independent, arguments. The results lead us to introduce a

The Cardy-Verlinde Formula and Taub-Bolt-AdS Spacetimes [PDF]
We consider the conformal field theory which is dual to the Taub-Bolt-AdS spacetime. It is shown that the Cardy-Verlinde formula for the entropy of the conformal field theory agrees precisely with the entropy of the Taub-Bolt-AdS spacetime, at high ...

AdS field theory from conformal field theory [PDF]
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 Theories: From Old to New [PDF]
In a short review of recent work, we discuss the general problem of constructing the actions of new conformal field theories from old conformal field theories.

Conformal field theory out of equilibrium: a review [PDF]
We provide a pedagogical review of the main ideas and results in non-equilibrium conformal field theory and connected subjects. These concern the understanding of quantum transport and its statistics at and near critical points.
