Topological transforms have been very useful in statistical analysis of shapes or surfaces without restrictions that the shapes are diffeomorphic and requiring the estimation of correspondence maps. In this paper we introduce two…
We consider the set of partition functions that result from the insertion of twist operators compatible with conformal invariance in a given 2D Conformal Field Theory (CFT). A consistency equation, which gives a classification of twists, is…
In this article we introduce conformal Riemannian morphisms. The idea of conformal Riemannian morphism generalizes the notions of an isometric immersion, a Riemannian submersion, an isometry, a Riemannian map and a conformal Riemannian map.…
We study gauging operations (or group extensions) in (smeared) boundary conformal field theories (BCFTs) and bulk conformal field theories, and their applications to various phenomena in topologically ordered systems. We apply the resultant…
We introduce a framework for two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) in the language of analytic number theory. Attached to the torus partition function of every two-dimensional CFT is a self-dual, degree-4 $L$-function of root number…
Ordinary maps satisfy topological recursion for a certain spectral curve $(x, y)$. We solve a conjecture from arXiv:1710.07851 that claims that fully simple maps, which are maps with non self-intersecting disjoint boundaries, satisfy…
We review how modular categories, and commutative and non-commutative Frobenius algebras arise in rational conformal field theory. For Euclidean CFT we use an approach based on sewing of surfaces, and in the Minkowskian case we describe CFT…

We study one and two point functions of conformal field theories on spaces of maximal symmetry with and without boundaries and investigate their spectral representations. Integral transforms are found, relating the spectral decomposition to…
A modified interaction representation for the master field describing connected $SU(N)$-invariant Wightman's functions in the large $N$ limit of matrix fields is constructed. This construction is based on the representation of the master…

The cylindrical Taylor Interpolation through FFT (TI-FFT) algorithm for computation of the near-field and far-field in the quasi-cylindrical geometry has been introduced. The modal expansion coefficient of the vector potentials ${\bf F}$…
We discuss the problem to develop a mathematical theory of a certain class of nonrational conformal field theories (CFT) which contain the unitary CFT. A variant of the concept of a modular functor is proposed that appears to be suitable…
We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to quantize any generic classical spectral curve with smooth ramification points and simply ramified away from poles. For this purpose, we build both the associated quantum…
We present a new approach to equivariant version of the topological complexity, called a symmetric topological complexity. It seems that the presented approach is more adequate for the analysis of an impact of symmetry on the the motion…
Hellerman et al. (arXiv:1505.01537) have shown that in a generic CFT the spectrum of operators carrying a large U(1) charge can be analyzed semiclassically in an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. The key is the operator state…
Conformal field theories (CFTs) feature prominently in high-energy physics, statistical mechanics, and condensed matter. For example, CFTs govern emergent universal properties of systems tuned to quantum phase transitions, including their…
In this talk we go over several new developments regarding the techniques for a large class of non-hermitian matrix models with unitary randomness (complex random numbers). In particular, we discuss: (a) - A diagrammatic approach based on a…
This work derives an application from the identities of arXiv:hep-th/0602028 in order to invert four point functions in defect conformal field theories. For this, a recursion relation is established and the O(N) model with a line defect is…
Topological recursion associates to a spectral curve, a sequence of meromorphic differential forms. A tangent space to the "moduli space" of spectral curves (its space of deformations) is locally described by meromorphic 1-forms, and we use…
