We discuss three questions related to the critical behavior of hierarchical spin models: 1) the hyperscaling relations in the broken symmetry phase; 2) the combined use of dual expansions to calculate the non-universal quantities; 3) the…
We discuss the following aspects of two-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric theories defined on compact super Riemann surfaces: parametrization of (2,0) and (2,2) superconformal structures in terms of Beltrami coefficients and formulation of…
We describe some field theoretic methods for studying quantum spin systems in one dimension. These include the nonlinear sigma-model approach which is particularly useful for large values of the spin, the idea of Luttinger liquids and…
Proper conformal symmetries in self-dual (SD) Einstein spaces are considered. It is shown, that such symmetries are admitted only by the Einstein spaces of the type [N]x[N]. Spaces of the type [N]x[-] are considered in details. Existence of…
A class of solvable (systems of) nonlinear evolution PDEs in multidimensional space is discussed. We focus on a rotation-invariant system of PDEs of Schr\"odinger type and on a relativistically-invariant system of PDEs of Klein-Gordon type.…
We apply the method of the large spin bootstrap to analyse fermionic conformal field theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetry. Through the study of correlators of composite operators, we find the anomalous dimensions and OPE…
It was demonstrated in recent work that $d=4$ unitary CFT's satisfy a special property: if a scalar operator with conformal dimension $\Delta$ exists in the operator spectrum, then the conformal bootstrap demands that large spin primary…
The relation between Geisteswissenschaft and Naturwissenschaft has been discussed by Munster in hep-th/9305104. The plan of this paper is to begin with the empty set; use it to form sets and quivers (sets of points plus sets of arrows…
We investigate asymptotic symmetries in flat backgrounds of dimension higher than or equal to four. For spin two we provide the counterpart of the extended BMS transformations found by Campiglia and Laddha in four-dimensional Minkowski…
We set up the conventional conformal bootstrap equations in Mellin space and analyse the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of large spin double trace operators. By decomposing the equations in terms of continuous Hahn polynomials,…
We investigate the relationship between conformal and spin structure on lorentzian manifolds and see how their compatibility influences the formulation of rigid supersymmetric field theories. In dimensions three, four, six and ten, we show…
Various many-body models are treated, which describe $N$ points confined to move on a plane circle. Their Newtonian equations of motion ("accelerations equal forces") are integrable, i. e. they allow the explicit exhibition of $N$ constants…
We study the critical behavior of frustrated spin models with noncollinear order in two dimensions, including antiferromagnets on a triangular lattice and fully frustrated antiferromagnets. For this purpose we consider the corresponding…

We study a heterotic two-dimensional N=(0,2) gauged non-linear sigma-model whose target space is a weighted complex projective space. We consider the case with N positively and N^~=N_F - N negatively charged fields. This model is believed…
Vertex algebras in higher dimensions correspond to models of quantum field theory with global conformal invariance. Any vertex algebra in dimension D admits a restriction to a vertex algebra in any lower dimension and, in particular, to…
