Inspired by the work of Pratt and coworkers on a sum rule for the polarization correlations in electron bremsstrahlung when the outgoing electron is not observed, we derive the corresponding sum rule for the elementary process of…
The Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule is one of several dispersive sum rules that connect the Compton scattering amplitudes to the inclusive photoproduction cross sections of the target under investigation. Being based on such universal…
We develop a drift-diffusion equation that describes electron spin polarization density in two-dimensional electron systems. In our approach, superpositions of spin-up and spin-down states are taken into account, what distinguishes our…
The reasonableness of the use of perturbative QCD notions in the region close to the scale of hadronization, i.e., below $\lesssim 1 \GeV$ is under study. First, the interplay between higher orders of pQCD expansion and higher twist…
The technique of Weinberg's spectral-function sum rule is a powerful tool for a study of models in which global symmetry is dynamically broken. It enables us to convert information on the short-distance behavior of a theory to relations…
We consider protected operators with the same conformal dimensions in the ultraviolet and infrared fixed point. We derive a sum rule for the difference between the two-point function coefficient of these operators in the ultraviolet and…
We discuss the problem of a possible "violation" of the optical sum rule in the normal (non superconducting) state of strongly correlated electronic systems, using our recently proposed DMFT+Sigma approach, applied to two typical models:…
Recently, Son and Stephanov have considered an "open moose" as a possible dual model of a QCD-like theory of chiral symmetry breaking. In this note we demonstrate that although the Weinberg sum rules are satisfied in any such model, the…
Momentum sum rules for fragmentation functions are considered. In particular, we give a general proof of the Sch\"afer-Teryaev sum rule for the transverse momentum dependent Collins function. We also argue that corresponding sum rules for…
Ab initio predictions of two-loop electroweak contributions to observables are increasingly essential for precision collider experiments, yet their evaluation remains very challenging. We connect recurrence techniques and dispersive method…
In this work, we study the universal behaviors in the mutual information of two disjoint spheres in a conformal field theory(CFT). By using the operator product expansion of the spherical twist operator in terms of the conformal family, we…
We consider conformal perturbation theory for $n$-point functions on the sphere in general 2D CFTs to first order in coupling constant. We regulate perturbation integrals using canonical hard disk excisions of size $\epsilon$ around the…
We derive QCD sum rules from the nucleon two-point function in nuclear medium, calculating its specral function in chiral perturbation theory to one loop. Our calculation shows the inadequacy of the commonly used ansatz to represent the…
We elaborate on various aspects of the conformal field theory of the symmetric orbifold. We collect various results that have appeared in the literature, and we present a coherent picture of the operator content of this CFT, relying on the…
The systematic errors inherent in the QCD sum rule approach to meson wavefunctions are examined in the context of QCD in 1+1 spacetime dimensions in the large N limit where the theory is exactly solvable. It is shown that the truncation of…
We study the spectrum of local operators living on a defect in a generic conformal field theory, and their coupling to the local bulk operators. We establish the existence of universal accumulation points in the spectrum at large $s$, $s$…
We consider point distributions in compact connected two-point homogeneous spaces (Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one). All such spaces are known, they are the spheres in the Euclidean spaces, the real, complex and quaternionic…
Cosmological soft theorems (or consistency relations) provide a powerful probe for the physics of inflation. These relations rely on minimal assumptions and hold very generally. Consequently, any violation of these relations would rule out…
We discuss the structure of 2D conformal field theories (CFT) at central charge c=0 describing critical disordered systems, polymers and percolation. We construct a novel extension of the c=0 Virasoro algebra, characterized by a number b…
We propose a new general BRST approach to string and string-like theories which have a wider range of applicability than e g the conventional conformal field theory method. The method involves a simple general regularization of all basic…
