Carrollian conformal field theory offers an alternative description of massless scattering amplitudes, that is holographic in nature. In an effort to build a framework that is both predictive and constraining, we construct operator product…

We give a general analysis of OPEs of 1/2 BPS superfield operators for the $D=3,4,5,6$ superconformal algebras OSp(8/4,R), PSU(2,2), F${}_4$ and OSp($8^*/4$) which underlie maximal AdS supergravity in $4\leq D+1\leq 7$. \\ The corresponding…

We use group theoretic methods to calculate the spectrum of short multiplets around the extremum of N=8 gauged supergravity potential which possesses N=2 supersymmetry and SU(3) global symmetry. Upon uplifting to M-theory, it describes a…

We discuss conserved currents and operator product expansions (OPE's) in the context of a $O(N)$ invariant conformal field theory. Using OPE's we find explicit expressions for the first few terms in suitable short-distance limits for…

Some issues of recoil effects in AdS/CFT are studied from the point of view of OPE expansions for generalized free fields. We show that the conformal group structure encodes the relative energies and momenta at a collision center. This is…

It is known previously that the operator product expansion (OPE) between the first ${\cal N}=3 $ multiplet and itself contains the second ${\cal N}=3$ multiplet in the supersymmetric coset model. In this paper, by using their realizations…

We derive an asymptotic formula for operator product expansion coefficients of heavy operators in two dimensional conformal field theory. This follows from modular invariance of the genus two partition function, and generalises the…

We conjecture a closed-form expression for the Schur limit of the superconformal index of two infinite series of Argyres-Douglas (AD) superconformal field theories (SCFTs): the (A_1,A_{2n-3}) and the (A_1,D_{2n}) theories. While these SCFTs…
