In this paper we consider anomalous dimensions of double trace operators at large spin ($\ell$) and large twist ($\tau$) in CFTs in arbitrary dimensions ($d\geq 3$). Using analytic conformal bootstrap methods, we show that the anomalous…
Universal properties of a critical quantum spin chain are encoded in the underlying conformal field theory (CFT). This underlying CFT is fully characterized by its conformal data. We propose a method to extract the conformal data from a…
We study 2+1 dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with a globally conserved U(1) charge, placed in a chemical potential which is periodically modulated along the spatial direction $x$ with zero average: $\mu(x) = V \cos(kx)$. The…
A central result of Sturm-Liouville theory (also called the Sturm-Hurwitz Theorem) states that if $\phi_k$ is a sequence of eigenfunctions of a second order differential operator on the interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$, then any linear…
We investigate a solution of the exactly renormalized Liouville action to foresee the fate of the two-dimensional de Sitter space. We work in the semiclassical region with a large matter central charge $c$. Instead of de Sitter expansion,…
We consider a class of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) which have a large $N$ limit and a semi-classical gravity dual description. Using the quiver-like structure of 6D SCFTs we study a subsector of operators protected from large…
We derive forms of light-state dominance for correlators in CFT$_d$, making precise the sense in which correlators can be approximated by the contribution of light operator exchanges. Our main result is that the four-point function of…
We present a novel form of collective oscillatory behavior in the kinetics of irreversible coagulation with a constant input of monomers and removal of large clusters. For a broad class of collision rates, this system reaches a…
The scaling dimensions of charged operators in conformal field theory were recently computed in a large charge expansion. We verify this expansion in a dual AdS model. Specifically, we numerically construct solitonic boson star solutions of…
In large $N$ theories with a gravity dual, generic heavy operators should be dual to black holes in the bulk. The microscopic details of such operators should then be irrelevant in the low energy theory. We look for such universality in the…
The continuation of the Liouville conformal field theory to c<=1 is considered. The viability of an interpretation involving a timelike boson which is the conformal factor for two-dimensional asymptotically de Sitter geometries is examined.…
A general strategy is provided to identify the most general metric for diagonalizable pseudo-Hermitian and anti-pseudo-Hermitian Hamilton operators represented by two-dimensional matrices. It is investigated how a permutation of the…
The aim of this paper is to establish the solvability and global regularity theory for a new class of generalized anisotropic heat-type boundary value problems with (pure) dynamical anisotropic Wentzell boundary conditions. We first prove…
The thermodynamic stability of large AdS$_3$ black holes implies that Cardy's $\Delta\rightarrow\infty$ formula for the density of states remains approximately valid when $\Delta\sim c$ in holographic 2d CFTs, constraining their light…
The leading order terms in a curvature expansion of the surface tension, the Tolman length (first order), and rigidities (second order) have been shown to play an important role in the description of nucleation processes. This work presents…

Correlators of unitary quantum field theories in Lorentzian signature obey certain analyticity and positivity properties. For interacting unitary CFTs in more than two dimensions, we show that these properties impose general constraints on…
We show that N=1 supersymmetric Liouville theory can be continued to central charge c=3/2, and that the limiting non-rational superconformal field theory can also be obtained as a limit of supersymmetric minimal models. This generalises a…
