Using transfer-matrix method a correspondence between $2D$ classical spin systems ($2D$ Ising model and six-vertex model) and $1D$ quantum spin systems is considered. We find the transfer matrix in two limits - in a well-known…
We analyse the double-discontinuities of the four-point correlator of the stress-tensor multiplet in N=4 SYM at large t' Hooft coupling and at order $1/N^4$, as a way to access one-loop effects in the dual supergravity theory. From these…
We extend the superembedding formalism for 4D N=1 superconformal field theory (SCFT) to the case of fields in arbitrary representations of the superconformal group SU(2,2|1). As applications we obtain manifestly superconformally covariant…

We analyze the ground state energy and spin of quantum dots obtained from spin density functional theory (SDFT) calculations. First, we introduce a Strutinsky-type approximation, in which quantum interference is treated as a correction to a…
For conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a method to derive the conformal blocks corresponding to the exchange of a traceless symmetric tensor appearing in four point functions of operators with spin. Using the…
We review various off-shell formulations for interacting higher-spin systems in dimensions 3 and 4. Associated with higher-spin systems in spacetime dimension 4 is a Chern-Simons action for a superconnection taking its values in a direct…
The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on $U(1)$ invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the…
We construct gauge theory of interacting symmetric traceless tensor fields of all ranks s=0,1,2,3, ... which generalizes Weyl-invariant dilaton gravity to the higher spin case, in any dimension d>2. The action is given by the trace of the…
We show that the self-dual Yang-Mills equations afford supersymmetrisation to systems of equations invariant under global N-extended super-Poincar\'e transformations for arbitrary values of N, without the limitation (N\le 4) applicable to…
We introduce new inference procedures for counterfactual and synthetic control methods for policy evaluation. We recast the causal inference problem as a counterfactual prediction and a structural breaks testing problem. This allows us to…
The quantum theory of cosmological perturbations in single field inflation is formulated in terms of a path integral. Starting from a canonical formulation, we show how the free propagators can be obtained from the well known…
A 2D- fractional supersymmetry theory is algebraically constructed. The Lagrangian is derived using an adapted superspace including, in addition to a scalar field, two fields with spins 1/3,2/3. This theory turns out to be a rational…
The original cubic interaction terms for higher spin gauge fields in four dimensions and their reformulation using Fock space vertex operators is reviewed. As a new result, the complete list of all cubic vertex functions in D=4 is derived.…
In this paper, we study the general form of three-point functions of conserved current multiplets $S_{\alpha(k)}= S_{(\alpha_1 \dots \alpha_k)}$ of arbitrary rank in four-dimensional ${\mathcal N}=1$ superconformal theory. We find that the…
In this work we launch a systematic theory of superconformal blocks for four-point functions of arbitrary supermultiplets. Our results apply to a large class of superconformal field theories including 4-dimensional models with any number…
We formulate gauge invariant interactions of totally symmetric tensor and tensor-spinor higher spin gauge fields in AdS(5) that properly account for higher-spin-gravitational interactions at the action level in the first nontrivial order.
This is the writeup of the lectures given at the Winter School "YRISW 2018" to appear in a special issue of JPhysA. In the first part of these lecture notes we review some important facts about 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs. We begin with basic…
We discuss the QCD effects of the higher-twist operators in the nucleon spin-dependent structure functions measured by the polarized deep inelastic leptoproduction. We particularly study the renormalization of the twist-3 and twist-4…
Standard spin-density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy of a many-electron ground state make serious self-interaction errors which can be corrected by the Perdew-Zunger self-interaction correction (SIC). We propose a…
