We derive an entropy formula satisfied by the ground states of 1+1D conformal field theories. The formula implies that the ground state is the critical point of an entropy function. We conjecture that this formula may serve as an…

We introduce a novel class of defects, termed crosscap defects, in conformal field theory (CFT) in general dimensions. These arise from quotienting the spacetime by a $Z_2$ automorphism, and provide higher-codimension generalisations of CFT…

We compute the boundary two point functions of operators corresponding to massive spin 1 and spin 2 de Sitter fields, by an extension of the ``S-Matrix'' approach developed for bulk scalars. In each case the two point functions are of the…

There has been a high demand in rectifying the band gap under-estimation problem in density functional theory (DFT), while keeping the computational load at the same level as local density approximation. DFT-1/2 and shell DFT-1/2 are useful…

We discuss string theory methods for the study of strongly coupled holographic defect conformal field theories (CFTs) which are dual to probe-brane systems. First, we examine whether the string theory duals of such defect CFTs are…

Although effective for two dimensional (2D) systems, some approximations may fail in describing the properties of one-dimensional (1D) models, which belong to a different universality class. In this paper, we analyze the adequacy of the…

According to the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem of density-functional theory (DFT), all observable quantities of systems of interacting electrons can be expressed as functionals of the ground-state density. This includes, in principle, the spin…

We study two dimensional conformal field theories in the semiclassical limit. In this limit, the four-point function is dominated by intermediate primaries of particular weights along with their descendants, and the crossing equations…
