We study the form factors of local operators of integrable QFT's between states with finite energy density. These states arise, for example, at finite temperature, or from a generalized Gibbs ensemble. We generalize Smirnov's form factor…
We apply numerical conformal bootstrap techniques to the four-point function of a Weyl spinor in 4d non-supersymmetric CFTs. We find universal bounds on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients, including bounds on operators in mixed…
It is known that the trace anomaly in the QCD energy-momentum tensor $T^{\mu \nu}$ can be attributed to the anomalies for each of the gauge-invariant quark part and gluon part of $T^{\mu \nu}$, and their explicit three-loop formulas have…
We analyze the gravitational form factors and mechanical properties of the nucleon, focusing on both some general issues as well as on modeling with meson dominance. We show that the lattice QCD results for the nucleon gravitational form…
In this paper we discuss different recursion relations (BCFW and all-line shift) for the form factors of the operators from the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM stress-tensor current supermultiplet $T^{AB}$ in momentum twistor space. We show that…
We present a lattice QCD determination of the $B_s \to D_s \ell\nu$ scalar and vector form factors over the full physical range of momentum transfer. The result is derived from correlation functions computed using the Highly Improved…
The form factors of the semileptonic $B_c\to S(AV)\ell\nu$ $(\ell=\tau, \mu, e)$ transitions, where S and AV denote the scalar $X_{c0}$ and axial vector $(X_{c1}, h_{c})$ mesons, are calculated within the framework of the three-point QCD…
We analyze the near-collinear limit of the null polygonal hexagon super Wilson loop in the planar N = 4 superYang-Mills theory. We focus on its Grassmann components which are dual to next-to-maximal helicity-violating (NMHV) scattering…
We use supertwistor space to construct scattering amplitudes of maximal superconformal theories in three and six dimensions. In both cases, the constraints of superconformal invariance and rationality imply that the three-point amplitude…
We implement the conformal bootstrap for N=4 superconformal field theories in four dimensions. Consistency of the four-point function of the stress-energy tensor multiplet imposes significant upper bounds for the scaling dimensions of…
Recent tensor-network samplings of modified Nishimori spin glasses have revealed robust finite-temperature critical transitions in two dimensions, defying the standard Edwards-Anderson lower critical dimension boundary ($d_{l}\approx2.5$).…
Maximally supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions has a remarkably simple S-matrix at the origin of its moduli space at both tree and loop level. This leads to the question what, if any, of this structure survives at the complement…
Soft-QCD effects of quark-level form factors in $\gamma\gamma$ decay of $B_s$-mesons via $D{\bar D}$ intermediate states, suggested by Ellis et al, are examined in the "Salpeter" model [reinterpreted in terms of the Markov-Yukawa…
We uncover a striking connection between conformal blocks and fractional calculus. By employing a modified form of half-derivates, we derived explicitly the exact form of the three-dimensional conformal block, expressed as the product of…
We extend the fermion representation of single-charge 1/2-BPS operators in the four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory to general (multi-charge) 1/2-BPS operators such that all six directions of scalar fields play roles on an equal…
We consider twist-3 operators in the sl(2) sector of N=4 SYM built out of three scalar fields with derivatives. We extract from the Bethe Ansatz equations of this sector the exact lowest anomalous dimension gamma(s) of scaling fields for…
We calculate the four-loop massless QCD corrections with two closed quark lines to quark and gluon form factors. The results for the gluon form factor and the singlet part of the quark form factor are given for the first time. From our…
I describe recent advances in our understanding of the hadronic form factors governing semileptonic meson transitions. The resulting framework provides a systematic approach to the experimental data, as a means of extracting precision…
We classify transcendental entire functions that are compositions of a polynomial and the exponential for which all singular values escape on disjoint rays. The construction involves an iteration procedure on an infinite-dimensional…
