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.

Large charge, semiclassics and superfluids : from broken symmetries to conformal field theories [PDF]

, 2020
This thesis explores the application of semiclassical methods in the study of states with large quantum numbers for theories invariant under internal symmetries. In the first part of the thesis, we study zero-temperature superfluids.

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

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

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.

Notes on a surface defect in the O(N) model

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We study a surface defect in the free and critical O(N) vector models, defined by adding a quadratic perturbation localized on a two-dimensional subspace of the d-dimensional CFT.

Finite-size scaling and conformal symmetry around the (2 + 1)-dimensional SU(2) deconfinement phase transition

Nuclear Physics B, 1991
Abstract Conformal invariance at a second-order phase transition yields an exact finite-size scaling theory on a two-dimensional cylindrical geometry. We combine this two-dimensional conformal field theory with a numerical investigation of the deconfinement phase transition of (2 + 1)-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory.

Optical Signature of Moiré Superlattices Formed by Twisted SrTiO3 Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We discover optical signatures from bonded interfaces in twisted SrTiO3 moiré superlattices, including low‐frequency Raman vibrational modes and strong second‐harmonic generation, consistent with strong interlayer coupling inferred from cross‐sectional electron microscopy and ab initio calculations. ABSTRACT Moiré superlattices formed at the interfaces

The epsilon expansion of the O(N) model with line defect from conformal field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
We employ the axiomatic framework of Rychkov and Tan to investigate the critical O(N) vector model with a line defect in (4 − ϵ) dimensions. We assume the fixed point is described by defect conformal field theory and show that the critical value of the ...
