A scaling limit for line and surface defects

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We study symmetry-breaking line defects in the Wilson-Fisher theory with O(2N + 1) global symmetry near four dimensions and symmetry-preserving surface defects in a cubic model with O(2N) global symmetry near six dimensions.

Modularity and 4D-2D spectral equivalences for large-N gauge theories with adjoint matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In recent work, we demonstrated that the confined-phase spectrum of non-supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory coincides with the spectrum of the chiral sector of a two-dimensional conformal field theory in the large-$N$ limit.

Conformal Invariance and Vector Operators in the O(N) Model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of statistical physics, 2019
It is widely expected that, for a large class of models, scale invariance implies conformal invariance. A sufficient condition for this to happen is that there exists no integrated vector operator, invariant under all internal symmetries of the model ...

Carving Out the Space of 4D CFTs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We introduce a new numerical algorithm based on semidefinite programming to efficiently compute bounds on operator dimensions, central charges, and OPE coefficients in 4D conformal and N=1 superconformal field theories.

Renormalization group flows between Gaussian fixed points

open access: yesJournal 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

Symmetries, holography, and quantum phase transition in two-dimensional dilaton AdS gravity [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2017
We present a revisitation of the Almheiri-Polchinski dilaton gravity model from a two-dimensional (2D) bulk perspective. We describe a peculiar feature of the model, namely the pattern of conformal symmetry breaking using bulk Killing vectors, a ...

A note on defect Mellin amplitudes

open access: yesJournal 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.

Scalar tilt from broken conformal invariance

open access: yes, 2010
Within recently proposed scenario which explains flatness of the spectrum of scalar cosmological perturbations by a combination of conformal and global symmetries, we discuss the effect of weak breaking of conformal invariance.

Conformal couplings of Galileons to other degrees of freedom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We discuss a formulation of Galileon actions in terms of matrix determinants in four dimensions. This approach allows one to straightforwardly determine derivative couplings between Galileons and scalar or vector degrees of freedom that lead to equations
