Boundaries in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories may preserve one half of the original bulk supersymmetry. There are two possibilities which are characterized by the chirality of the leftover supercharges. Depending…

The most general 2+1 dimensional spinning particle model is considered. The action functional may involve all the possible first order Poincare invariants of world lines, and the particular class of actions is specified thus the…

We reinterpret special relativity, or more precisely its de Sitter deformation, in terms of 3d conformal geometry, as opposed to (3+1)d spacetime geometry. An inertial observer, usually described by a geodesic in spacetime, becomes instead…
We introduce a method for computing conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations in any spacetime dimension, making it possible to apply bootstrap techniques to operators with spin. The key idea is to implement the…
Universality classes of non-unitary critical theories in two-dimensions are characterized by a dimensional number, termed central charge or conformal anomaly. Conformal invariance predicts that the leading finite-size correction to the free…

The "spin-up" and "spin-down" projections of the second order, chiral form of Dirac Theory are shown to fit a superposition of forms predicted in an earlier classical, complex scalar gauge theory (April, 1992 Class. Quantum Grav.). In some…
In a first part, we generalize a theorem for an holomorphic $\times $ anti-holomorphic integrand, in the case of 2 dimensional Fourier transform. In the second part, we derive p-uple conformal integrals the integrand of which are linear…
A generalized theory of two-dimensional isotropic turbulence is developed based on conformal symmetry. A number of minimal models of conformal turbulence are solved under an extended constraint including both the enstrophy cascade by…
We study the numerical bounds obtained using a conformal-bootstrap method - advocated in ref. [1] but never implemented so far - where different points in the plane of conformal cross ratios $z$ and $\bar z$ are sampled. In contrast to the…
We carry out a three-loop computation that establishes the existence of scale without conformal invariance in dimensional regularization with the MS scheme in d=4-epsilon spacetime dimensions. We also comment on the effects of scheme…

We formulate four-dimensional conformal gravity with (Anti-)de Sitter boundary conditions that are weaker than Starobinsky boundary conditions, allowing for an asymptotically subleading Rindler term concurrent with a recent model for…
