SMEFT Wilson coefficients are subject to various positivity bounds in order to be consistent with the fundamental principles of S-matrix. Previous bounds on dimension-8 SMEFT operators have been obtained using the positivity part of UV…
We study insertions of composite operators into Wilson loops in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. The loops follow a circular or straight path and the composite insertions transform in the adjoint representation of…
Conformal symmetry is broken by a flat or spherical defect operator $\mathcal{D}$. We show that this defect operator, may be identified as a pair of twist operators which are inserted at the tips of its causal diamond. Any $k-$point…
We show that for an entire function $\varphi$ belonging to the Fock space ${\mathscr F}^2(\mathbb{C}^n)$ on the complex Euclidean space $\mathbb{C}^n$, the integral operator \begin{eqnarray*} S_{\varphi}F(z)=\int_{\mathbb{C}^n} F(w) e^{z…
Fixpoint operators are tools to reason on recursive programs and data types obtained by induction (e.g. lists, trees) or coinduction (e.g. streams). They were given a categorical treatment with the notion of categories with fixpoints. A…

We present a convex geometry perspective to the Effective Field Theory (EFT) parameter space. We show that the second $s$ derivatives of the forward EFT amplitudes form a convex cone, whose extremal rays are closely connected with states in…

For the S-states of muonium and positronium, the hyperfine shifts to the order $\alpha^6$ of a recently derived two-fermion equation with explicit $\cal CPT$-invariance are checked against the results of a nonrelativistic reduction, and the…
Derivatives and integration operators are well-studied examples of linear operators that commute with scaling up to a fixed multiplicative factor; i.e., they are scale-invariant. Fractional order derivatives (integration operators) also…
We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global $U(1)$ charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically…
Matrix elements of Wilson-line dressed operators play a central role in the factorization of soft and collinear modes in gauge theories. When expressed using spinor helicity variables, these so-called form factors admit a classification…

We introduce a suitable notion of integral operators (comprising the fractional Laplacian as a particular case) acting on functions with minimal requirements at infinity. For these functions, the classical definition would lead to divergent…
We make an analytic investigation of rapid quenches of relevant operators in d-dimensional holographic CFT's, which admit a dual gravity description. We uncover a universal scaling behaviour in the response of the system, which depends only…
