Poincaré, Scale and Conformal Symmetries: Gauge Perspective and Cosmological Ramifications [PDF]

, 2016
In the first part of the thesis we focus on local symmetries. We review a self-consistent framework that we employed in order to discuss the dynamics of the theories of interest. Its merit lies in that we can make the symmetry group act internally and thus be effectively separated from coordinate transformations.

Universal fine grained asymptotics of free and weakly coupled quantum field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics
We give a rigorous proof that in any free quantum field theory with a finite group global symmetry G, on a compact spatial manifold, at sufficiently high energy, the density of states ρ α (E) for each irreducible representation α of G obeys a universal ...

3D conformal field theory in twistor space

Journal of High Energy Physics
The aim of this paper is to study three dimensional Lorentzian conformal field theories in twistor space. We formulate the conformal Ward identities and solve for two and three point Lorentzian Wightman functions.

Renormalization group flows between Gaussian fixed points

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
A scalar theory can have many Gaussian (free) fixed points, corresponding to Lagrangians of the form ϕ□ n ϕ. We use the non-perturbative RG to study examples of flows between such fixed points. We show that the anomalous dimension changes continuously in

Hyperbolic vacua in Minkowski space

Journal of High Energy Physics
Families of Lorentz, but not Poincare, invariant vacua are constructed for a massless scalar field in 4D Minkowski space. These are generalizations of the Rindler vacuum with a larger symmetry group. Explicit expressions are given as squeezed excitations

On emergent conformal symmetry near the photon ring

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
In this note we revisit the emergent conformal symmetry in the near-ring region of warped spacetime. In particular, we propose a novel construction of the emergent near-ring sl(2, ℝ)QNM symmetry.

Conformal Symmetry as a Template:Commensurate Scale Relations and Physical Renormalization Schemes [PDF]

, 1999
Commensurate scale relations are perturbative QCD predictions which relate observable to observable at fixed relative scale, such as the ''generalized Crewther relation'', which connects the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith deep inelastic scattering sum rules to measurements of the e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} annihilation cross section.

Anatomy of null contractions

Journal of High Energy Physics
We introduce null contractions of the Poincare and relativistic conformal algebras. The longitudinal null contraction involves writing the algebra in lightcone coordinates and contracting one of the null directions.

A note on defect Mellin amplitudes

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We generalize the Mellin representation for a generic co-dimension flat defect CFT. We study the analytic structure of the Mellin amplitudes. We also compute Witten diagrams for a generic co-dimension flat defect CFT.

Anomalous dimensions in hypercubic theories

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We perform a comprehensive perturbative study of the operator spectrum in multi-scalar theories with hypercubic global symmetry. This includes working out symmetry representations and their corresponding tensor structures.
