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…
A method for calculating coefficient functions of the operator product expansion, which was previously derived for the non-singlet case, is generalized for the singlet coefficient functions. The resulting formula defines coefficient…
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…
A new derivation is given of four-point functions of charge $Q$ chiral primary multiplets in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. A compact formula, valid for arbitrary $Q$, is given which is manifestly superconformal and analytic in the…
Correlation functions of energy flow operators (energy-energy correlators) are one of the simplest observables in quantum field theory and gravity, with diverse applications ranging from real world collider physics to constraining the space…
We describe how to implement the conformal bootstrap program in the context of the embedding space OPE formalism introduced in previous work. To take maximal advantage of the known properties of the scalar conformal blocks for…
We study two kinematical limits, the Regge limit and the Lorentzian OPE limit, of the four-point function of the stress-tensor multiplet in Super Yang-Mills at weak coupling. We explain how both kinematical limits are controlled by the…
By calculating the second order pole in the operator product expansion (OPE) of the charged spin-$3$ current with the neutral spin-$3$ current in the Grassmannian-like coset model, we determine the primary charged spin-$4$ current.…
We derive a dispersion relation for two-point correlation functions in defect conformal field theories. The correlator is expressed as an integral over a (single) discontinuity that is controlled by the bulk channel operator product…
We construct monopole operators for 3d Yang-Mills-matter theories and Chern-Simons-matter theories in canonical formalism. In this framework, monopole operators, although as the disorder operators, could be written in terms of the…
We calculate the leading contributions to the connected two-point functions of protected scalar operators in the defect version of N=4 SYM theory which is dual to the D5-D3 probe-brane system with k units of background gauge field flux.…
We extend the superembedding formalism for 4D N=1 superconformal field theory (SCFT) to the case of fields in arbitrary representations of the superconformal group SU(2,2|1). As applications we obtain manifestly superconformally covariant…
