We revisit a low-energy theorem (LET) of NSVZ type in SU($N$) QCD with $N_f$ massless quarks derived in [1] by implementing it in dimensional regularization. The LET relates $n$-point correlators in the lhs to $n+1$-point correlators with…

For holographic CFT states near the vacuum, entanglement entropies for spatial subsystems can be expressed perturbatively as an expansion in the one-point functions of local operators dual to light bulk fields. Using the connection between…

In this paper we study the simplest massive 1+1 dimensional integrable quantum field theory which can be described as a perturbation of a non-unitary minimal conformal field theory: the Lee-Yang model. We are particularly interested in the…

For a conformal field theory (CFT) deformed by a relevant operator, the entanglement entropy of a ball-shaped region may be computed as a perturbative expansion in the coupling. A similar perturbative expansion exists for excited states…

We study entanglement entropy of excited states in two dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). Especially we consider excited states obtained by acting primary operators on a vacuum. We show that under its time evolution, entanglement…

The number of local operators in a CFT below a given twist grows with spin. Consistency with analyticity in spin then requires that at low spin, infinitely many Regge trajectories must decouple from local correlation functions, implying…

We prove that in any unitary CFT, a twist gap in the spectrum of operator product expansion (OPE) of identical scalar primary operators (i.e. $\phi\times \phi$) implies the existence of a family of primary operators $\mathcal{O}_{\tau,…

This is an extended version of the previous paper arXiv:2103.05303 to study entanglement entropy (EE) of a half space in interacting field theories. In the previous paper, we have proposed a novel method to calculate EE based on the notion…

We consider the D1D5 CFT near the orbifold point and develop methods for computing the mixing of untwisted operators to first order by using the OPE on the covering surface. We argue that the OPE on the cover encodes both the structure…

It has been shown recently that the mathematical status of the operator product expansion (OPE) is better than was expected before: namely considering massive Euclidean $\varphi^4$-theory in the perturbative loop expansion, the OPE…

In this work, we explore the twist operator OPEs of a generic bosonic symmetric product ($S_N$) orbifold CFT. We conjecture that at large $N$ the OPE of bare twist operators contains only bare twists and excitations of bare twists with…

The entanglement entropy (EE) of quantum systems is often used as a test of low-energy descriptions by conformal field theory (CFT). Here we point out that this is not a reliable indicator, as the EE often shows the same behavior even when…
