We observe that conformal blocks of scalar 4-point functions in a $d$-dimensional conformal field theory can mapped to eigenfunctions of a 2-particle hyperbolic Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian. The latter describes two coupled…
All one-massless-loop Feynman diagrams could be written like a linear combination of scalar boxes, triangles an bubbles in $n$ dimensions plus rational terms. However, the four-point scalar integrals in $n+2$ dimensions are free of infrared…

We introduce the analytic superspace formalism for six-dimensional $(N,0)$ superconformal field theories. Concentrating on the $(2,0)$ theory we write down the Ward identities for correlation functions in the theory and show how to solve…
We demonstrate how contact chord diagrams can arise from certain Fock-space models and compute the corresponding correlation functions using the chord path integral technique. In particular, our three-point functions are in the right form…
Globally conformal invariant quantum field theories in a D-dimensional space-time (D even) have rational correlation functions and admit an infinite number of conserved (symmetric traceless) tensor currents. In a theory of a scalar field of…
In this work, building up on [1] we present momentum space Ward identities related to broken higher spin symmetry as an alternate approach to computing correlators of spinning operators in interacting theories such as the quasi-fermionic…
In [FL1, FL3] we found mathematical interpretations of the one-loop conformal four-point Feynman integral as well as the vacuum polarization Feynman integral in the context of representations of a Lie group U(2,2) and quaternionic analysis.…
We reconsider the computation of the entanglement entropy of two disjoint intervals in a (1+1) dimensional conformal field theory by conformal block expansion of the 4-point correlation function of twist fields. We show that accurate…
A convenient integral representation for zig-zag four-point and two-point planar Feynman diagrams relevant to the bi-scalar D-dimensional fishnet field theory is obtained. This representation gives a possibility to evaluate exactly diagrams…
Extending previous work on 2 -- and 3 -- point functions, we study the 4 -- point function and its conformal block structure in conformal quantum mechanics CFT$_1$, which realizes the SO(2,1) symmetry group. Conformal covariance is…
We explicitly compute the complete three-loop (O(g^4)) contribution to the four-point function of chiral primary current-like operators <(q)^2 q^2 (q)^2 q^2> in any finite N=2 SYM theory. The computation uses N=2 harmonic supergraphs in…
Integrands for colour ordered scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM are dual to those of correlation functions of the energy-momentum multiplet of the theory. The construction can relate amplitudes with different numbers of legs. By graph…
We study the general structure of correlation functions in an Sp(2n)-invariant formulation of systems of an infinite number of higher-spin fields. For n=4,8 and 16 these systems comprise the conformal higher-spin fields in space-time…
First steps are taken in a project to construct a general class of conformal and perhaps, eventually, non-conformal quantum field theories of (n-1)-dimensional extended objects in a d=2n dimensional conformal space-time manifold M. The…
The original cubic interaction terms for higher spin gauge fields in four dimensions and their reformulation using Fock space vertex operators is reviewed. As a new result, the complete list of all cubic vertex functions in D=4 is derived.…
We propose a framework for calculating two-loop Feynman diagrams which appear within a renormalizable theory in the general mass case and at finite external momenta. Our approach is a combination of analytical results and of high accuracy…
In the first part, we concentrate on CFTs in coordinate space. We lay the foundations of Conformal Field Theory and we also demonstrate a method where by using the embedding formalism we can derive up to n-point scalar conformal…
We calculate the free energies $F$ for $U(1)$ gauge theories on the $d$ dimensional sphere of radius $R$. For the theory with free Maxwell action we find the exact result as a function of $d$; it contains the term $\frac{d-4}{2} \log R$…
Using functional derivatives with respect to the free correlation function we derive a closed set of Schwinger-Dyson equations in phi^4-theory. Its conversion to graphical recursion relations allows us to systematically generate all…
