We generalize Regge theory to correlation functions in conformal field theories. This is done by exploring the analogy between Mellin amplitudes in AdS/CFT and S-matrix elements. In the process, we develop the conformal partial wave…

We apply the average null energy condition to obtain upper bounds on the three-point function coefficients of stress tensors and a scalar operator, $\langle TT {\cal O } \rangle,$ in general CFTs. We also constrain the gravitational anomaly…

We identify a nontrivial yet tractable quantum field theory model with space/time anisotropic scale invariance, for which one can exactly compute certain four-point correlation functions and their decompositions via the operator-product…

The operator product expansion (OPE), truncated in dimension, is employed in many contexts. An example is the extraction of the strong coupling, $\alpha_s$, from hadronic $\tau$-decay data, using a variety of analysis methods based on…

We investigate the correlators of flavor non-singlet bilinear operators calculated on the lattice at short distances. In the continuum theory, non-perturbative effects are encoded in the form of the operator product expansion (OPE). We test…

Given an observable and its operator product expansion (OPE), we present expressions that carefully disentangle truncated sums of the perturbative series in powers of $\alpha$ from the non-perturbative (NP) corrections. This splitting is…

We show that certain classes of apparently unprotected operators in N=4 SYM_4 do not receive quantum corrections as a consequence of a partial non-renormalization theorem for the 4-point function of chiral primary operators. We develop…

We study the behaviour of the conformal block expansions of scalar fivepoint Lorentzian conformal correlators in the limit where multiple cross ratios approach zero. Since this limit is controlled by intermediate operators with large spin,…

We give a new perspective on the Lorentzian OPE inversion formula of arXiv:1703.00278, building on arXiv:2302.06469. We introduce an ``auxiliary'' fourpoint function that can be related to the traditionally defined ones via a Radon…

Assuming the existence of crossing symmetric celestial OPE, we propose a method to reconstruct four-point massless scattering amplitudes in the framework of celestial holography. This method relies only on CFT techniques and a remarkable…
