We demonstrate that various aspects of Conformal Field Theory are amenable to machine learning. Relatively modest feed-forward neural networks are able to distinguish between scale and conformal invariance of a three-point function and…

We compute exact three and four point functions in the W_N minimal models that were recently conjectured to be dual to a higher spin theory in AdS_3. The boundary theory has a large number of light operators that are not only invisible in…

Basso-Dixon integrals evaluate rectangular fishnets -- Feynman graphs with massless scalar propagators which form a $m\times n$ rectangular grid -- which arise in certain one-trace four-point correlators in the `fishnet' limit of…

Correlators of Wilson loop operators with O_4=Tr(F_{\mu\nu}^2+...) are computed in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory using the AdS/CFT correspondence. The results are compared with the leading order perturbative computations. As a consequence of…

This work presents the building-blocks of an integrability-based representation for multi-point Fishnet Feynman integrals with any number of loops. Such representation relies on the quantum separation of variables (SoV) of a non-compact…

We develop the idea of an effective conformal theory describing the low-lying spectrum of the dilatation operator in a CFT. Such an effective theory is useful when the spectrum contains a hierarchy in the dimension of operators, and a small…
