We consider the operator product expansion (OPE) of correlation functions in the supersymmetric $O(N)$ non-linear sigma model at sub-leading order in the large $N$ limit in order to study the cancellation between ambiguities coming from…

In this article, we initiate the study of operator product expansions (OPEs) for the sine-Gordon model. For simplicity, we focus on the model below the first threshold of collapse ($\beta<4\pi$) and on the singular terms in OPEs of…

In the coset model $(D_N^{(1)} \oplus D_N^{(1)},D_N^{(1)})$ at levels $(k_1,k_2)$, the higher spin $4$ current that contains the quartic WZW currents contracted with completely symmetric $SO(2N)$ invariant $d$ tensor of rank $4$ is…

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion…

In this letter we discuss the operator product expansion of scalar operators in five-dimensional field theories with an $SU(1,3)\times U(1)$ spacetime symmetry. Such theories arise by a novel conformal null reduction of six-dimensional…

The partition function of a 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theory with rank $N$ can be computed using supersymmetric localization in terms of a matrix model, which often can be formulated as an ideal Fermi gas with a non-trivial one-particle…

We clarify questions related to the convergence of the OPE and conformal block decomposition in unitary Conformal Field Theories (for any number of spacetime dimensions). In particular, we explain why these expansions are convergent in a…

We compute the operator product expansion (OPE) between the spin-4 current and itself in the WD_4 coset minimal model with SO(8) current algebra. The right hand side of this OPE contains the spin-6 Casimir current which is also a generator…

We present new asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories. These formulas involve products of four or more coefficients and include light-light-heavy as well as heavy-heavy-heavy contributions.…

Global conformal invariance determines the form of two and three-point functions of quasi-primary operators in a conformal field theory, and generates nontrivial relations between terms in the operator product expansion. These ideas are…
