Light scalars on cosmological backgrounds
We study the behaviour of a light quartically self-interacting scalar field ϕ on curved backgrounds that may be described with the cosmological equation state parameter w.

Vertex Algebras in Higher Dimensions and Globally Conformal Invariant Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
We propose an extension of the definition of vertex algebras in arbitrary space-time dimensions together with their basic structure theory. An one-to-one correspondence between these vertex algebras and axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT) with global conformal invariance (GCI) is constructed.

Proof of dispersion relations for the amplitude in theories with a compactified space dimension
The analyticity properties of the scattering amplitude in the nonforward direction are investigated for a field theory in the manifold R 3,1 ⨂ S 1.

Bosonization in Higher Dimensions via Noncommutative Field Theory
We propose the bosonization of a many-body fermion theory in D spatial dimensions through a noncommutative field theory on a (2D-1)-dimensional space. This theory leads to a chiral current algebra over the noncommutative space and reproduces the correct perturbative Hilbert space and excitation energies for the fermions.

Global anomalies in 8d supergravity
We study gauge and gravitational anomalies of fermions and 2-form fields on eight-dimensional spin manifolds. Possible global gauge anomalies are classified by spin bordism groups Ω 9 spin BG $$ {\varOmega}_9^{\mathrm{spin}}(BG) $$ which we determine by ...

Constraining conformal field theory with higher spin symmetry in four dimensions [PDF]
We analyze the constraints on the general form and the singularity structure of the correlation functions of the symmetric, traceless and conserved stress-energy tensor implied by conformal invariance and higher spin symmetry in four dimensions. In particular, we show that all these correlation functions will have at most double pole singularities.

We focus our attention on the one dimensional scalar theories that result from dimensionally reducing the free scalar field theory in arbitrary d dimensions.

β-functions in higher dimensional field theories [PDF]
We review recent activity in the construction of the renormalization group functions for O(N) scalar and gauge theories in six and higher dimensions. The theories lie in their respective universality classes at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point. The critical

Odd dimensional nonlocal Liouville conformal field theories
We construct Euclidean Liouville conformal field theories in odd number of dimensions. The theories are nonlocal and non-unitary with a log-correlated Liouville field, a Q $$ \mathcal{Q} $$ -curvature background, and an exponential Liouville-type ...
