Spin impurities, Wilson lines and semiclassics
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider line defects with large quantum numbers in conformal field theories. First, we consider spin impurities, both for a free scalar triplet and in the Wilson-Fisher O(3) model.

Boundary conformal field theory at large charge
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study operators with large internal charge in boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) with internal symmetries. Using the state-operator correspondence and the existence of a macroscopic limit, we find a non-trivial relation between the scaling ...

Localized magnetic field in the O(N) model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider the critical O(N) model in the presence of an external magnetic field localized in space. This setup can potentially be realized in quantum simulators and in some liquid mixtures.

Extremal correlators and random matrix theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study the correlation functions of Coulomb branch operators of four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs).

Exceptional moduli spaces for exceptional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 3 theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 It is expected on general grounds that the moduli space of 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 3 theories is of the form ℂ3r /Γ, with r the rank and Γ a crystallographic complex reflection group (CCRG). As in the case of Lie algebras, the space of CCRGs consists of

Spontaneously broken boosts in CFTs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) have rich dynamics in heavy states. We describe the constraints due to spontaneously broken boost and dilatation symmetries in such states.

Giant Vortices and the Regge Limit
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In recent years it has been shown that strongly coupled systems become analytically tractable in the regime of large quantum numbers, such as large spin or large charge.

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2021 We investigate the propagation of uncertainties in the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model, which belongs to a class of second order traffic flow models described by a system of nonlinear hyperbolic equations. The stochastic quantities are expanded in terms of wavelet-

Phases of surface defects in Scalar Field Theories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study mass-type surface defects in a free scalar and Wilson-Fisher (WF) O(N) theories. We obtain exact results for the free scalar defect, including its RG flow and defect Weyl anomaly.

A counterexample to the CFT convexity conjecture
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Motivated by the weak gravity conjecture, [Phys. Rev. D 104 (2021) 126005] conjectured that in any CFT, the minimal operator dimension at fixed charge is a convex function of the charge.
