We consider scalar Wilson operators of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM at high spin, $s$, and generic twist in the multi-color limit. We show that the corresponding (non)linear integral equations (originating from the asymptotic Bethe Ansatz equations)…

We report novel analytic results for the Virasoro modular and fusion kernels relevant to 2d conformal field theories (CFTs), 3d topological field theories (TQFTs), and the representation theory of certain quantum groups. For all rational…

Stress-energy correlation functions in a general Conformal Field Theory (CFT) in four dimensions are described in a fully covariant approach, as metric variations of the quantum effective action in an arbitrary curved space background…

Since the ($\beta$-deformed) hermitian one-matrix models can be represented as the integrated conformal field theory (CFT) expectation values, we construct the operators in terms of the generators of the Heisenberg algebra such that the…

The four point function of Conformal Field Theories (CFT's) with global symmetry gives rise to multiple crossing symmetry constraints. We explicitly study the correlator of four scalar operators transforming in the fundamental…

We present a conjecture for the small spin limit of the minimal scaling dimension of Wilson operators in the sl(2) sector of the planar N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory. The expression is given in closed form as a function of the 't Hooft…

We study the conformal bootstrap for a 4-point function of fermions $\langle\psi\psi\psi\psi\rangle$ in 3D. We first introduce an embedding formalism for 3D spinors and compute the conformal blocks appearing in fermion 4-point functions.…
