We study four-point correlation functions of half-BPS operators of arbitrary weight for all dimensions d=3,4,5,6 where superconformal theories exist. Using harmonic superspace techniques, we derive the superconformal Ward identities for…
We investigate proposals of how the form factor approach to compute correlation functions at zero temperature can be extended to finite temperature. For the two-point correlation function we conclude that the suggestion to use the usual…
We develop a formalism to study the implications of causality on OPE coefficients in conformal field theories with large central charge and a sparse spectrum of higher spin operators. The formalism has the interpretation of a new conformal…
We study four-point correlation functions of 1/2-BPS operators in N=4 SYM which are dual to massive KK modes in AdS_5 supergravity. On the field theory side, the procedure of inserting the SYM action yields partial non-renormalisation of…
The string theory calculation of the 1/2-BPS circular Wilson loop of N=4 SYM in the planar limit at next to leading order at strong coupling is revisited in the ratio of its semiclassical string partition function and the one dual to a…
The index of a selfadjoint Fredholm operator is zero by the well-known fact that the kernel of a selfadjoint operator is perpendicular to its range. The Fredholm index was generalised to families by Atiyah and J\"anich in the sixties, and…
We consider a set of half-BPS operators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory which are appropriate for describing single-particle states of superstring theory on AdS${}_5 \times S^5$. These single-particle operators are defined to…
In a recent paper hep-th/0109064, quarter-BPS chiral primaries were constructed in the fully interacting four dimensional N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(N). These operators are annihilated by four supercharges, and at order…
We obtain a closed-form analytical expression for the zero temperature Fourier transform of the $2k_F$ component of the density-density correlation function in a Luttinger liquid with different spin and charge velocities. For frequencies…
Based on an exactly solvable model of a nearly homogeneous solid (jellium+phonons), we compute the optical dielectric function exactly at zero temperature in any number of spatial dimensions. It is argued as we have done elsewhere, that the…
Recently D'Hoker et al. (1999) computed 4-point correlation functions of axion and dilaton fields in type IIB SUGRA on AdS_5 x S^5. We reproduce from a CFT point of view all power law singular terms in these AdS 4-point amplitudes. We also…
We show that, by an appropriate choice of auxiliary fields and exact integration of the phonon degrees of freedom, it is possible to define a 'sign-free' path integral for the so called Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling. We use a…
In this study, we explore the correlation functions of thin-shell operators, represented semiclassically by a homogeneous, thin interface of dust particles. Employing the monodromy method, we successfully compute the contribution from the…
We derive the planar limit of 2- and 3-point functions of single-trace chiral primary operators of ${\cal N}=2$ SQCD on $S^4$, to all orders in the 't Hooft coupling. In order to do so, we first obtain a combinatorial expression for the…
We explicitly compute the complete three-loop (O(g^4)) contribution to the four-point function of chiral primary current-like operators <(q)^2 q^2 (q)^2 q^2> in any finite N=2 SYM theory. The computation uses N=2 harmonic supergraphs in…
In this paper a definition is given for an unbounded Toeplitz-like operator with rational symbol which has poles on the unit circle. It is shown that the operator is Fredholm if and only if the symbol has no zeroes on the unit circle, and a…
The correlation functions for a strongly correlated exactly solvable one-dimensional boson system on a finite chain as well as in the thermodynamic limit are calculated explicitly. This system which we call the phase model is the strong…
We prove novel results on interpolation of Fredholm operators including an abstract factorization theorem. The main result of this paper provides sufficient conditions on the parameters $\theta \in (0,1)$ and $q\in \lbrack 1,\infty ]$ under…
In this work we explore an instance of the $\tau$-function of vertex type operators, specified in terms of a constant phase shift in a free-fermionic basis. From the physical point of view this $\tau$-function has multiple interpretations:…
A new approach to the correlation functions is presented for the XXZ model in the anti-ferroelectric regime. The method is based on the recent realization of the quantum affine symmetry using vertex operators. With the aid of a boson…
