Motivated by the mixing of UV and IR effects, we test the OPE formula in noncommutative field theory. First we look at the renormalization of local composite operators, identifying some of their characteristic IR/UV singularities. Then we…
The well-known asymptotic formula for the module of a condenser with one of the plates degenerating to a point is generalized to the case of a condenser of general type. The condensers under consideration consist of n plates, n > 2, and the…
Two dimensional field theories invariant under the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group are conjectured to be dual to asymptotically flat spacetimes in three dimensions. In this paper, we continue our investigations of the modular properties of…
We derive bulk asymptotics of skew-orthogonal polynomials (sop) $\pi^{\bt}_{m}$, $\beta=1$, 4, defined w.r.t. the weight $\exp(-2NV(x))$, $V (x)=gx^4/4+tx^2/2$, $g>0$ and $t<0$. We assume that as $m,N \to\infty$ there exists an $\epsilon >…
A systematic analysis of the genus two vacuum amplitudes of chiral self-dual conformal field theories is performed. It is explained that the existence of a modular invariant genus two partition function implies infinitely many relations…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the quantum representations of the modular group in the large level limit. We prove that each element of the modular group acts as a Fourier integral operator. This provides a link between the classical…
We explicitly compute the diverging factor in the large genus asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of $n$-pointed complex algebraic curves. Modulo a universal multiplicative constant we prove the existence of a…
We review and systematize two (analytic) bootstrap techniques in two-dimensional conformal field theories using the S-modular transformation. The first one gives universal results in asymptotic regimes by relating extreme temperatures.…
In this article, we initiate the study of operator product expansions (OPEs) for the sine-Gordon model. For simplicity, we focus on the model below the first threshold of collapse ($\beta<4\pi$) and on the singular terms in OPEs of…
We compute the asymptotics of the number of connected branched coverings of a torus as their degree goes to infinity and the ramification type stays fixed. These numbers are equal to the volumes of the moduli spaces of pairs (curve,…
Operator product expansions (OPEs) in quantum field theory (QFT) provide an asymptotic relation between products of local fields defined at points $x_1, \dots, x_n$ and local fields at point $y$ in the limit $x_1, \dots, x_n \to y$. They…
Let $\sum_{\beta\in\nats^d} F_\beta x^\beta$ be a multivariate power series. For example $\sum F_\beta x^\beta$ could be a generating function for a combinatorial class. Assume that in a neighbourhood of the origin this series represents a…
We study asymptotics of three point coefficients (light-light-heavy) and two point correlators in heavy states in unitary, compact $2$D CFTs. We prove an upper and lower bound on such quantities using numerically assisted Tauberian…
We establish formulae for the asymptotic growth (with respect to the scaling dimension) of the number of operators in effective field theory, or equivalently the number of $S$-matrix elements, in arbitrary spacetime dimensions and with…
In this work, we investigate the effects of logarithms on the asymptotic behavior of power expansion/OPE in supper-renormalizable QFTs. We performed a careful investigation of the large $p^2$ expansion of a scalar-scalar two-point function…
We formulate an "action principle" for the operator product expansion (OPE) describing how a given OPE coefficient changes under a deformation induced by a marginal or relevant operator. Our action principle involves no ad-hoc regulator or…
Recently, it was demonstrated that the discrepancy between the fixed-order (FOPT) and contour-improved (CIPT) perturbative expansions for $\tau$-lepton decay hadronic spectral function moments, which had been affecting the precision of…
We compute the most general embedding space two-point function in arbitrary Lorentz representations in the context of the recently introduced formalism in arXiv:1905.00036 and arXiv:1905.00434. This work provides a first explicit…
We conclude our work [arXiv:2403.07628, arXiv:2503.12644] on asymptotic expansions at the soft edge for the classical $n$-dimensional Gaussian and Laguerre ensembles, now studying the gap-probability generating functions. We show that the…
In the SL(2) conformal field theory, we write down and analyze the analytic expression of the three-point functions of generic primary fields with definite SL(2) weights. Using these results, we discuss the operator product expansion in the…
