We consider protected operators with the same conformal dimensions in the ultraviolet and infrared fixed point. We derive a sum rule for the difference between the two-point function coefficient of these operators in the ultraviolet and…
In this paper we discuss geodesic Witten diagrams in general holographic conformal field theories with boundary or defect. In boundary or defect conformal field theory, two-point functions are non-trivial and can be decomposed into…
The spectrum of two-point functions in a holographic renormalization group flow from an ultraviolet (UV) to an infrared (IR) conformal fixed point is necessarily continuous. For a toy model, the spectral function does not only show the…
We study the effect of marginal and irrelevant deformations on the renormalization of operators near a CFT fixed point. New divergences in a given operator are determined by its OPE with the operator D that generates the deformation. This…
We develop the formalism of holographic renormalization to compute two-point functions in a holographic Kondo model. The model describes a $(0+1)$-dimensional impurity spin of a gauged $SU(N)$ interacting with a $(1+1)$-dimensional,…
We present a review of the one-loop photon ($\Pi$) and neutrino ($\Sigma$) two-point functions in a covariant and deformed $\rm U(1)$ gauge-theory on the 4-dimensional noncommutative spaces, determined by a constant antisymmetric tensor…
In $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal theories in four dimensions the two-point function of superconformal multiplets is known up to an overall constant. A superconformal multiplet contains several conformal primary operators, whose two-point…
We study large charge sectors in the $O(N)$ model in $6-\epsilon $ dimensions. For $4<d<6$, in perturbation theory, the quartic $O(N)$ theory has a UV stable fixed point at large $N$. It was recently argued that this fixed point can be…
We apply our previous work on Green's functions for the four-dimensional quaternionic Taub-NUT manifold to obtain a scalar two-point function on the homogeneously squashed three-sphere (otherwise known as the Berger sphere), which lies at…
We perform conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators to first order. A suitable renormalization method is needed that makes the conformal invariance of the deformed correlation functions manifest. Combining the embedding space…
Deformations of complex structures by finite Beltrami differentials are considered on general Riemann surfaces. Exact formulas to any fixed order are derived for the corresponding deformations of the period matrix, Green's functions, and…
We study the structure of normal operators of double fibration transforms with conjugate points. Examples of double fibration transforms include Radon transforms, $d$-plane transforms on the Euclidean space, geodesic X-ray transforms,…
We study the two-point function of local operators in the presence of a defect in a generic conformal field theory. We define two pairs of cross ratios, which are convenient in the analysis of the OPE in the bulk and defect channel…
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 study the phase diagram of a twofold orbitally degenerate Anderson impurity model which presents a non-trivial fixed point similar to the two-impurity Kondo model one. Remarkably, this fixed point is more robust than the latter one,…
We consider a large class of physical fields $u$ written as double inverse Fourier transforms of some functions $F$ of two complex variables. Such integrals occur very often in practice, especially in diffraction theory. Our aim is to…
Quasi-primary correlators in two-dimensional conformal field theories deformed simultaneously by $T\bar T$ and root-$T\bar T$ are studied. A path-integral formulation motivated by the geometric realization of the combined deformation is…
We consider conformal perturbation theory for $n$-point functions on the sphere in general 2D CFTs to first order in coupling constant. We regulate perturbation integrals using canonical hard disk excisions of size $\epsilon$ around the…
We study wavefunctions of heavy scalars on de Sitter spacetime and their implications to dS/CFT correspondence. In contrast to light fields in the complementary series, heavy fields in the principal series oscillate outside the cosmological…
We study here the effects of a time-dependent second order perturbation to a degenerate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type operator whose diffusive part can be either local or non-local. More precisely, we establish that some estimates, such as the…
