We reconsider the Mott transition problem in the presence of long range Coulomb interactions. Using an extended DMFT, that sums an important class of diagrams absent in ordinary DMFT, we show that in the presence of Coulomb the Mott…

Using the duality between seemingly different (2+1)d conformal field theories (CFT) proposed recently, we study a series of (2+1)d stable self-dual interacting CFTs. These CFTs can be realized (for instance) on the boundary of the (3+1)d…

I study the two-dimensional defects of the $d$ dimensional critical $O(N)$ model and the defect RG flows between them. By combining the $\epsilon$-expansion around $d = 4$ and $d = 6$ as well as large $N$ techniques, I find new conformal…

(Chern--Simons) vector models exhibit an infinite-dimensional symmetry, the slightly-broken higher-spin symmetry with the unbroken higher-spin symmetry being the first approximation. In this note, we compute the $n$-point correlation…

We study a surface defect in the free and critical $O(N)$ vector models, defined by adding a quadratic perturbation localized on a two-dimensional subspace of the $d$-dimensional CFT. We compute the beta function for the corresponding…

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates deformations of the CFT by "multi-trace operators" to "non-local string theories". The deformed theories seem to have non-local interactions in the compact directions of space-time; in the gravity…

In various dimensions, we can sometimes compute observables of interacting conformal field theories (CFTs) that are connected to free theories via the renormalization group (RG) flow by computing protected quantities in the free theories.…

We initiate the study of extended excitations in the long-range O(N) model. We focus on line and surface defects and we discuss the challenges of a naive generalization of the simplest defects in the short-range model. To face these…

We study the second-order phase transition in the $d$-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions decreasing as a power of the distance $1/r^{d+s}$. For $s$ below some known value $s_*$, the transition is described by a conformal…
