We study two-point functions of single-trace half-BPS operators in the presence of a supersymmetric Wilson line in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. We use inversion formula technology in order to reconstruct the CFT data starting from a single…
The presence of a boundary (or defect) in a conformal field theory allows one to generalize the notion of an exactly marginal deformation. Without a boundary, one must find an operator of protected scaling dimension $\Delta$ equal to the…
We apply the Grassmannian representation of the dimer model, an equivalent approach to Kasteleyn's solution to the close-packed dimer problem, to calculate the connection probabilities for the double-dimer model with wired/free/wired/free…
We formulate $\lambda$-deformed $\sigma$-models as QFTs in the upper-half plane. For different boundary conditions we compute correlation functions of currents and primary operators, exactly in the deformation parameter $\lambda$ and for…
Boundaries in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories may preserve one half of the original bulk supersymmetry. There are two possibilities which are characterized by the chirality of the leftover supercharges. Depending…
This paper is devoted to the 8-vertex model and its edge correlation function. In some particular (integrable) cases, we find a closed form of the edge correlation function and we deduce also its asymptotic. In addition, we quantify…
We propose a bootstrap program for CFTs near intersecting boundaries which form a co-dimension 2 edge. We describe the kinematical setup and show that bulk 1-pt functions and bulk-edge 2-pt functions depend on a non-trivial cross-ratio and…
I give an expression for the correlation function of disorder insertions on the edges of the critical Ising model on a cylinder as a function of the aspect ratio (rescaled in the case of anisotropic couplings). This is obtained from an…
We compute the continuum limit of the spectra for the XX-model with arbitrary complex boundary fields. In the case of hermitian boundary terms one obtains the partition functions of the free compactified boson field on a cylinder with…
In a previous article, we define "connectivity weights" to be functions with these two properties: 1) They solve the three conformal Ward identities of conformal field theory (CFT) and a system of $2N$ null-state differential equations…
We propose a prescription for describing correlation functions in higher-dimensional defect conformal field theories (DCFTs) by those in ancillary conformal field theories (CFTs) without defects, which is a vast generalization of the image…
We consider the correlator of two concentric circular Wilson loops with equal radii for arbitrary spatial and internal separation at strong coupling within a defect version of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. Compared to the standard Gross-Ooguri phase…
The Einstein-Proca action is known to have asymptotically locally Lifshitz spacetimes as classical solutions. For dynamical exponent z=2, two-point correlation functions for fluctuations around such a geometry are derived analytically. It…
A boundary one point function related to the boundary spontaneous polarization, which is different from the ones considered in the past, is studied for the six vertex model on a 2N \times N lattice with domain wall boundary condition and…
It is shown that the tail in the two-level spectral correlation function R(s) for particles on 2D closed disordered surfaces is determined entirely by surface topology: $R(s)=-\chi/(6\pi^2\beta s^2)$, where $\beta$ = 1,2 or 4 for the…
Density Functional Theory has long struggled to obtain the exact exchange-correlational (XC) functional. Numerous approximations have been designed with the hope of achieving chemical accuracy. However, designing a functional involves…
We study the large $N$ limit of $O(N)$ scalar field theory with classically marginal $\phi^6$ interaction in three dimensions in the presence of a planar boundary. This theory has an approximate conformal invariance at large $N$. We find…
We formulate and prove an exact relation which expresses the moments of the two-point conductance for an open disordered electron system in terms of certain density correlators of the corresponding closed system. As an application of the…
We consider two different versions of the double dimer model on a planar domain, where we either fold a single dimer cover on a symmetric domain onto itself across the line of symmetry, or we superimpose two independent dimer covers on two,…
We write down and solve a closed set of Schwinger-Dyson equations for the two-matrix model in the large $N$ limit. Our elementary method yields exact solutions for correlation functions involving angular degrees of freedom whose calculation…
