We study conformal defects in two important examples of string theory orbifolds. First, we show that topological defects in the language of Landau-Ginzburg models carry information about the RG flow between the non-compact orbifolds…
Tabular foundation models with different architectures converge in accuracy across a range of classification and regression tasks. This raises questions a leaderboard cannot answer: (i) whether the models execute the same in-context…

In this work we address the impact of a cubic term addition to the Ginzburg-Landau mean-field potential, and study the consequences on the description of first order phase transitions in superconductors. Constraints are obtained from…
We investigate various boundary conditions in two dimensional turbulence systematically in the context of conformal field theory. Keeping the conformal invariance, we can either change the shape of boundaries through finite conformal…
Form factor axioms are derived in two dimensional integrable defect theories for matrix elements of operators localized both in the bulk and on the defect. The form factors of bulk operators are expressed in terms of the bulk form factors…
Studying two-dimensional field theories in the presence of defect lines naturally gives rise to monoidal categories: their objects are the different (topological) defect conditions, their morphisms are junction fields, and their tensor…
Spatial non-homogeneities can synchronize clusters of spatially-extended oscillators in different frequency plateaus. Motivated by physiological rhythms, we fully characterize the phase diagram of a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model with a…

We construct topological defects in two-dimensional classical lattice models and quantum chains. The defects satisfy local commutation relations guaranteeing that the partition function is independent of their path. These relations and…
The paper deals with the study of superfluidity by a Ginzburg-Landau model that investigates the material by a second order phase transition, in which any particle has simultaneouly a normal and superfluid motion. This pattern is able to…
We perturbatively study form factors in the Landau-Lifshitz model and the generalisation originating in the study of the N=4 super-Yang-Mills dilatation generator. In particular we study diagonal form factors which have previously been…
We review the results of arXiv:1208.1481 on orientation reversal and duality for defects in topological Landau-Ginzburg models, with the intention of providing an easily accessible toolkit for computations. As an example we include a proof…
We discuss in this paper combinatorial aspects of boundary loop models, that is models of self-avoiding loops on a strip where loops get different weights depending on whether they touch the left, the right, both or no boundary. These…
This is the author's PhD thesis, which focuses on the so-called Landau-Ginzburg/conformal field theory correspondence. This correspondence dates from the late 80s and early 90s in the physics literature and in particular, it predicts a…
We calculate the mean link in Landau gauge for Wilson and improved SU(3) anisotropic gauge actions, using two loop perturbation theory and Monte Carlo simulation employing an accelerated Langevin algorithm. Twisted boundary conditions are…
The Virasoro minimal models with boundary are described in the Landau-Ginzburg theory by introducing a boundary potential, function of the boundary field value. The ground state field configurations become non-trivial and are found to obey…

We describe the dynamical behavior found in numerical solutions of the Vector Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in parameter values where plane waves are stable. Topological defects in the system are responsible for a rich behavior. At low…
