We introduce a framework for two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) in the language of analytic number theory. Attached to the torus partition function of every two-dimensional CFT is a self-dual, degree-4 $L$-function of root number…
The $d=2$ critical Ising model is described by an exactly solvable Conformal Field Theory (CFT). The deformation to $d=2+\epsilon$ is a relatively simple system at strong coupling outside of even dimensions. Using novel numerical and…

Spin-density-functional theory (SDFT) is the most widely implemented and applied formulation of density-functional theory. However, it is still finding novel applications, and occasionally encounters unexpected problems. In this paper we…

The tricritical Ising CFT is the IR fixed-point of $\lambda\phi^6$ theory. It can be seen as a one-parameter family of CFTs connecting between an $\varepsilon$-expansion near the upper critical dimension 3 and the exactly solved minimal…
We discuss two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) which are invariant under gauging a non-invertible global symmetry. At every point on the orbifold branch of $c=1$ CFTs, it is known that the theory is self-dual under gauging a…

Based on conformal symmetry we propose an exact formula for the four-point connectivities of FK clusters in the critical Ising model when the four points are anchored to the boundary. The explicit solution we found displays logarithmic…
We discuss dynamical response functions near quantum critical points, allowing for both a finite temperature and detuning by a relevant operator. When the quantum critical point is described by a conformal field theory (CFT), conformal…

In conformal field theory (CFT) on simply connected domains of the Riemann sphere, the natural conformal symmetries under self-maps are extended, in a certain way, to local symmetries under general conformal maps, and this is at the basis…
Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA) has emerged as a standard tool for characterizing scale invariance in complex systems, yet its application to discrete spin models is frequently marred by reports of ``spurious…
