The heat kernel (or propagator) of the quantum harmonic oscillator (qHO) is given by the Mehler formula, and the partition function is obtained by taking its trace. In general, the spectral zeta function of the given system is obtained by…

This paper provides several illustrations of the numerous remarkable properties of the lambda-extensions of the two-point correlation functions of the Ising model, sheding some light on the non-linear ODEs of the Painlev\'e type. We first…
We derive new crossing-symmetric dispersion formulae for CFT correlators restricted to the line. The formulae are equivalent to the sum rules implied by what we call master functionals, which are analytic extremal functionals which act on…
Ordinal variables, such as on the Likert scale, are common in applied research. Yet, existing methods for causal inference tend to target nominal or continuous data. When applied to ordinal data, this fails to account for the inherent…
Can the direction of time and the causal structure of space-time be inferred from operational principles? Causal models and tensor networks offer complementary perspectives: the former encodes cause-effect relations via directed graphs,…
The Ising-Kac model is a variant of the ferromagnetic Ising model in which each spin variable interacts with all spins in a neighbourhood of radius $\gamma^{-1}$ for $\gamma \ll 1$ around its base point. We study the Glauber dynamics for…
