For any truncated path algebra $\Lambda$, we give a structural description of the modules in the categories ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-mod})$ and ${\cal P}^{<\infty}(\Lambda\text{-Mod})$, consisting of the finitely generated (resp.…

The most general form of a marginal extended perturbation in a two-dimensional system is deduced from scaling considerations. It includes as particular cases extended perturbations decaying either from a surface, a line or a point for which…

Motivated by the BPS/CFT correspondence, we explore the similarities between the classical $\beta$-deformed Hermitean matrix model and the $q$-deformed matrix models associated to 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on…

Results on the resummation of non-power-series expansions of the Adler function of a scalar, $D_S$, and a vector, $D_V$, correlator are presented within fractional analytic perturbation theory (FAPT). The first observable can be used to…

We argue that multi-trace deformations of the boundary CFT in AdS/CFT correspondence can arise through the OPE of single-trace operators. We work out the example of a scalar field in AdS_5 with cubic self interaction. By an appropriate…

We consider perturbation defects obtained by perturbing a 2D conformal field theory (CFT) by a relevant operator on a half-plane. If the perturbed bulk theory flows to an infrared fixed point described by another CFT, the defect flows to a…

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates deformations of the CFT by "multi-trace operators" to "non-local string theories". The deformed theories seem to have non-local interactions in the compact directions of space-time; in the gravity…

In our previous work, based on the $SU(6)$ spin-flavor wave function, we regard $\Lambda$ and $p$ as composed of different quark-diquark configurations and established the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations of configurations for quark and scalar…

First the second-order perturbations of nonzero-\Lambda cosmological models are derived with an arbitrary potential function of spatial coordinates, using the nonlinear version of Lifshitz's method in the synchronous gauge. Their expression…

Recent work by Kousvos and Stergiou criticises our work with Zhong Ming Tan [arXiv:1505.00963]. The issue is CFT scaling dimension computations in perturbative Renormalization Group. We identified operators whose correlation functions…

$B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^- \gamma$, measured at high $q^2$ as a partially reconstructed decay, can probe the origin of the existing discrepancies in semi-leptonic $b \to s$ and $b \to c$ decays. We perform a complete study of this possibility. We…

Let $$ A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & E^*\\ E & H_2\end{array}\right) \quad \hbox{ and } \quad \wtd A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & O\\ O & H_2\end{array}\right)$$ be two $N$-by-$N$ Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \cdots…

Unlike conformal boundary conditions, conformal defects of Virasoro minimal models lack classification. Alternatively to the defect perturbation theory and the truncated conformal space approach, we employ open string field theory (OSFT)…

Intermediate dimensions were recently introduced to provide a spectrum of dimensions interpolating between Hausdorff and box-counting dimensions for fractals where these differ. In particular, the self-affine Bedford-McMullen carpets are a…

We present a covariant and gauge invariant formalism suited to the study of second-order effects associated with higher order tensor perturbations. The analytical method we have developed enables us to characterize pure second-order tensor…

We study the modifications to decay amplitudes in heavy to heavy semileptonic decays with multiple hadrons in the final state due to intermediate heavy hadrons being off-shell or having a finite width. Combining Heavy Hadron Chiral…

Light-Front Field Theory (LFFT) is a good candidate to describe bound states. In LFFT covariance is non-manifest. Burkardt and Langnau claim that, even for scattering amplitudes, rotational invariance is broken. We will take a different…

We examine in detail the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau{\bar \nu}_{\tau}$, which may confirm previous hints, from the analogous $B$ decay, of a new physics beyond the standard model. First of all, starting from rather…

The light-cone gauge approach to $T{\overline T}$ deformed models is generalised to models deformed by U(1) conserved currents $J^\alpha$, $\widetilde J^\alpha$, stress-energy tensor $T^\alpha{}_\beta$, and their various quadratic…

$\mathrm{T}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$ deformation was originally proposed as an irrelevant solvable deformation for 2d relativistic quantum field theories (QFTs). The same family of deformations can also be defined for integrable quantum spin…
