The singular part of the \textit{operator product expansion} (OPE) of a pair of \textit{globally conformal invariant} (GCI) scalar fields $\phi$ of (integer) dimension $d$ can be written as a sum of the 2-point function of $\phi$ and $d-1$…
Mellin convolution equations acting in Bessel potential spaces are considered. The study is based upon two results. The first one concerns the interaction of Mellin convolutions and Bessel potential operators (BPOs). In contrast to the…
We compute the four-point correlator of two gluon light-ray operators and two gluon primaries from the four-gluon celestial amplitude in $(2,2)$ signature spacetime. The correlator is non-distributional and allows us to verify that…
We study the renormalization group flow equations for correlation functions of weakly coupled quantum field theories in AdS. Taking the limit where the external points approach the conformal boundary, we obtain a flow of conformally…
We further develop celestial Mellin amplitudes arXiv:2412.11992 to capture the exchange of particles with spin. For massless external scalar fields, we derive closed-form celestial Mellin amplitudes for a spin-1 and spin-2…
This is an introduction to the relationship between area law and OPE blocks in conformal field theory.
In four-dimensional conformal field theory, the numbers a and c are defined as coefficients of particular terms in the operator product expansion (OPE) of the energy-momentum tensor. With supersymmetry there are relations between these…
We derive a novel formula for the derivative of operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients with respect to a coupling constant. The formula only involves the OPE coefficients themselves, and no further input, and is in this sense…
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) and quark-hadron duality for 2- and 3-point correlators of the axial (A) and pseudoscalar (P) currents of the light quarks. In the chiral limit these correlators are often dominated by…
The problem of the structure constants of the operator product expansions in the minimal models of conformal field theory is revisited. We rederive these previously known constants and present them in the form particularly useful in the…
The content of the OPE of two 1/2 BPS operators in N=4 SCFT$_4$ is given by their superspace three-point functions with a third, a priori long operator. For certain 1/2 BPS short superfields these three-point functions are uniquely…
We study tree-level celestial amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory -- Mellin transforms of multi-gluon scattering amplitudes that convert them into the correlators of conformal primary fields on two-dimensional celestial sphere. By using purely…
We derive forms of light-state dominance for correlators in CFT$_d$, making precise the sense in which correlators can be approximated by the contribution of light operator exchanges. Our main result is that the four-point function of…
In this work, we bootstrap the 4-point correlators on the 1D celestial circle using 3D symmetries in the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena theory as constraints. We find that the dual inversion property is strong enough to replace the…
For Euclidean quantum field theories, Holland and Hollands have shown operator product expansion (OPE) coefficients satisfy "flow equations": For interaction parameter $\lambda$, the partial derivative of any OPE coefficient with respect to…
In this work, we develop the shadow formalism for two-dimensional Galilean conformal field theory (GCFT$_2$). We define the principal series representation of Galilean conformal symmetry group and find its relation with the Wigner…
We show how conformal invariance predicts the functional form of two-point correlators in one-dimensional periodic quantum systems. Numerical evidence for this functional form in a wide class of models --- including long-ranged ones --- is…
We probe the conformal block structure of a scalar four-point function in $d\geq2$ conformal field theories by including higher-order derivative terms in a bulk gravitational action. We consider a heavy-light four-point function as the…
We study the OPE of correlation functions of local operators in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. The considered operators have an explicit spacetime dependence that is defined by twisting the translation generators with certain…
We present a systematic derivation of the form of correlators of N operators in a Conformal Field Theory in d>2 dimensions and the exchange-symmetry constraints that the functions of the dimensionless cross-ratios obey for N>3.
