We analyze newly expanded and refined data from lattice studies of an SU(3) gauge theory with eight Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. We focus on the light composite states emerging from these studies, consisting of a set of…

We set up a strategy for studying large families of logarithmic conformal field theories by using the enlarged symmetries and non--semi-simple associative algebras appearing in their lattice regularizations (as discussed in a companion…

We study the description of the $SU(2)$, level $k=1$, Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory in terms of the modes of the spin-1/2 affine primary field $\phi^\alpha$. These are shown to satisfy generalized `canonical commutation…

This article aims to review a selection of central topics and examples in logarithmic conformal field theory. It begins with a pure Virasoro example, critical percolation, then continues with a detailed exposition of symplectic fermions,…

We investigate fermionic quantum field theories using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours $N$, we demonstrate that theories have exact solutions for their quantum effective actions given by quasi-local…

We present a new exact renormalization approach for quantum lattice models leading to long-range interactions. The renormalization scheme is based on wavelets with an infinite support in such a way that the excitation spectrum at the fixed…

Quantum groups play a role of symmetries of integrable theories in two dimensions. They may be detected on the classical level as Poisson-Lie symmetries of the corresponding phase spaces. We discuss specifically the Wess-Zumino-Witten…

We provide a mathematical definition of a low energy scaling limit of a sequence of general non-relativistic quantum theories in any dimension, and apply our formalism to anyonic chains. We formulate Conjecture 4.3 on conditions when a…

The fuzzy-sphere regularisation is a powerful tool to study conformal field theories (CFT) in three spacetime dimensions. In this paper, we extend its scope to CFTs with local fermionic operators. We realise the free-Majorana-fermion CFT on…

We construct the effective field theory of the Calogero-Sutherland model in the thermodynamic limit of large number of particles $N$. It is given by a $\winf$ conformal field theory (with central charge $c=1$) that describes {\it exactly}…

To connect conformal field theories (CFT) to probabilistic lattice models, recent works [HKV22, Ada23] have introduced a novel definition of local fields of the lattice models. Local fields in this picture are probabilistically concrete:…

Lattice chiral fermions are synonymous to the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. Indeed, this relation is satisfied by the overlap, domain wall and perfect action fermion kernel. In a recent work we have shown that it is possible to take a direct RG…
