We use the superconformal bootstrap to derive exact relations between OPE coefficients in three-dimensional superconformal field theories with ${\cal N} \geq 4$ supersymmetry. These relations follow from a consistent truncation of the…
We use the recently developed navigator method to obtain rigorous upper and lower bounds on new OPE data in the 3d Ising CFT. For example, assuming that there are only two $\mathbb{Z}_2$-even scalar operators $\epsilon$ and $\epsilon'$ with…
We study the two-point function of local operators in the presence of a defect in a generic conformal field theory. We define two pairs of cross ratios, which are convenient in the analysis of the OPE in the bulk and defect channel…
We calculate CFT data for the Gross-Neveu model in $2<d<4$ dimensions at the next-to-leading order in the $1/N$ expansion. In particular, we make use of the background field method to derive various conformal triangles involving the…
This is a set of notes which reviews and addresses issues in the SL(2,R) conformal field theory, while working primarily in a basis of vertex operators of definite weight under the affine algebra. Following a review of the H3 coset model…

It is known that the $(a,c)$ central charges in four-dimensional CFTs are linear combinations of the three independent OPE coefficients of the stress-tensor three-point function. In this paper, we adopt the holographic approach using AdS…
The 4D 4-point scattering amplitude of massless scalars via a massive exchange is expressed in a basis of conformal primary particle wavefunctions. This celestial amplitude is expanded in a basis of 2D conformal partial waves on the unitary…
The present work proposes to use density-functional theory (DFT) to correct for the basis-set error of wave-function theory (WFT). One of the key ideas developed here is to define a range-separation parameter which automatically adapts to a…
We study the spectrum and OPE coefficients of the three-dimensional critical O(2) model, using four-point functions of the leading scalars with charges 0, 1, and 2 ($s$, $\phi$, and $t$). We obtain numerical predictions for low-twist OPE…
In F-theory GUTs interactions between fields are typically localised at points of enhanced symmetry in the internal dimensions implying that the coefficient of the associated operator can be studied using a local wavefunctions overlap…
We study the transverse spin structure of the squeezed limit of the three-point energy correlator, $\langle \mathcal{E}(\vec n_1) \mathcal{E}(\vec n_2) \mathcal{E}(\vec n_3) \rangle$. To describe its all orders perturbative behavior, we…
We continue our study of the defect CFT on a Maldacena-Wilson line in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory using Bootstrability -- the conformal bootstrap supplemented with exact integrability data. In this paper, we extend this program to charged…
We study the operator product expansion (OPE) of two identical scalar primary operators in the lightcone limit in a conformal field theory where a scalar is the operator with lowest twist. We see that in CFTs where both the stress tensor…
We study the behaviour of the conformal block expansions of scalar fivepoint Lorentzian conformal correlators in the limit where multiple cross ratios approach zero. Since this limit is controlled by intermediate operators with large spin,…
Optimal pulse patterns (OPPs) are a modulation method in which the switching angles and levels of a switching signal are computed via an offline optimization procedure to minimize a performance metric, typically the harmonic distortions of…
We compute the next-to-leading correction to the scaling dimension of large-charge operators in the $3d$ critical $O(N)$ model in a double scaling limit in which both $N$ and the operator charge $Q$ are taken to be large. When $Q \gg N$ our…
Given a unitary fusion category, one can define the Hilbert space of a so-called ``anyonic spin-chain'' and nearest neighbor Hamiltonians providing a real-time evolution. There is considerable evidence that suitable scaling limits of such…
