Many abelian gauge theories in three dimensions flow to interacting conformal field theories in the infrared. We define a new class of local operators in these conformal field theories which are not polynomial in the fundamental fields and…
Inspired by the duality picture between superconductivity and insulator in two spatial dimension, we conjecture that the order parameter, suitable for characterizing 2D fermionic insulating state, is the disorder operator, usually known in…
This paper studies a particular class of higher order conformally invariant dif- ferential operators and related integral operators acting on functions taking values in particular finite dimensional irreducible representations of the Spin…
This paper grew out of the author's work on arXiv:2504.18460. Differential operators in the sense of Grothendieck acting between modules over a commutative ring can be interpreted as torsion elements in the bimodule of all operators with…
The two-dimensional ghost systems with negative integral central charge received much attention in the last years for their role in a number of applications and in connection with logarithmic conformal field theory. We consider the free…
The relation between disordered and chaotic systems is investigated. It is obtained by identifying the diffusion operator of the disordered systems with the Perron-Frobenius operator in the general case. This association enables us to…
We introduce Kadanoff-Ceva order-disorder operators in the quantum Ising model. This approach was first used for the classical planar Ising model and recently put back to the stage. This representation turns out to be equivalent to the loop…
In [1] a new bosonization procedure has been illustrated, which allows to express a fermionic gaussian system in terms of commuting variables at the price of introducing an extra dimension. The Fermi-Bose duality principle established in…
The effects of an aperiodic order or a random disorder on phase transitions in statistical mechanics are discussed. A heuristic relevance criterion based on scaling arguments as well as specific results for Ising models with random disorder…
Building on the recent progress in solving Chern-Simons-matter theories in the planar limit, we compute the scaling dimensions of a large class of disorder ("monopole") operators in $U(N)_k$ Chern-Simons-fermion theories at all 't Hooft…
When a quantum field theory possesses topological excitations in a phase with spontaneously broken symmetry, these are created by operators which are non-local with respect to the order parameter. Due to non-locality, such disorder…
The disorder operator, as an easily measured non-local observable, displays great potential in detecting intrinsic information of field theories. It has been systematically studied in 1d and 2d quantum systems, while the knowledge of 3d is…
In this brief article we discuss spin polarization operators and spin polarization states of 2+1 massive Dirac fermions and find a convenient representation by the help of 4-spinors for their description. We stress that in particular the…
We prove a trade-off theorem for order and disorder parameters in one-dimensional quantum spin systems with quenched disorder. For a disordered ensemble with exact Ising symmetry and average translation symmetry, any gapped ensemble must…
We study the $SU(2)_k/U(1)$-parafermion model perturbed by its first thermal operator. By formulating the theory in terms of a (perturbed) fermionic coset model we show that the model is equivalent to interacting WZW fields modulo free…
We study a model of two-dimensional interacting monomers which has two symmetric absorbing states and exhibits two kinds of phase transition; one is an order-disorder transition and the other is an absorbing phase transition. Our focus is…
In this paper we revisit the hypothesis needed to define the "paracomposition" operator, an analogue to the classic pull-back operation in the low regularity setting, first introduced by S. Alinhac in [3]. More precisely we do so in two…
For operators representing ill-posed problems, an ordering by ill-posedness is proposed, where one operator is considered more ill-posed than another one if the former can be expressed as a cocatenation of bounded operators involving the…
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…
The modulation is analyzed from the analytical properties of zeros of free fermionic partition function on the complex plane of wave numbers. It is shown how these properties are related to the oscillations of correlation functions. This…
