We derive forms of light-state dominance for correlators in CFT$_d$, making precise the sense in which correlators can be approximated by the contribution of light operator exchanges. Our main result is that the four-point function of…
Thermal fluctuations of a critical system induce long-ranged Casimir forces between objects that couple to the underlying field. For two dimensional (2D) conformal field theories (CFT) we derive an exact result for the Casimir interaction…
We study the (generalized) semi-Weyl commutation relations $$ U_gAU_g^*=g(A) \quad \text{ on }\quad \Dom(A), $$ where $A$ is a densely defined operator and $G\ni g\mapsto U_g$ is a unitary representation of the subgroup $G$ of the affine…
