We study conformal blocks (the space of correlation functions) over compact Riemann surfaces associated to vertex operator algebras which are the sum of highest weight modules for the underlying Virasoro algebra. Under the fairly general…
A method is proposed to handle the sign problem in the simulation of systems having indefinite or complex-valued measures. In general, this new approach, which is based on renormalisation blocking, is shown to yield statistical errors…
The dynamics of a set of identical spins interacting with another one through a time-dependent coupling gives rise to a gyroscopic equation with a variable Larmor frequency and, more importantly, with an operator playing the role a Larmor…
We propose a new heuristic goal-oriented a posteriori error estimator that connects the dual weighted residual method with equilibrated a posteriori error estimation. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the practical reliability of the…
In the references [HL1]--[HL5] and [H1], a theory of tensor products of modules for a vertex operator algebra is being developed. To use this theory, one first has to verify that the vertex operator algebra satisfies certain conditions. We…
We begin by explicating a recent proof of the cluster decomposition principle in AdS_{d+1} from the CFT_d bootstrap in d > 2. The CFT argument also computes the leading interactions between distant objects in AdS, and we confirm the…
We consider perturbation defects obtained by perturbing a 2D conformal field theory (CFT) by a relevant operator on a half-plane. If the perturbed bulk theory flows to an infrared fixed point described by another CFT, the defect flows to a…
We explore the hypothesis that poor compositional generalization in neural networks is caused by difficulties with learning effective routing. To solve this problem, we propose the concept of block-operations, which is based on splitting…
Starting from a detailed analysis of the structure of pathspaces of the ${\cal A}$-fusion graphs and the corresponding irreducible Virasoro algebra quotients $V(c,h)$ for the ($2,q$ odd) models, we introduce the notion of an admissible…
We construct an iterative procedure to compute the vertex operators of the closed superstring in the covariant formalism given a solution of IIA/IIB supergravity. The manifest supersymmetry allows us to construct vertex operators for any…
We construct integral forms containing the conformal vector $\omega$ in certain tensor powers of the Virasoro vertex operator algebra $L(\frac{1}{2},0)$, and we construct integral forms in certain modules for these algebras. When a triple…
We gain tight rigorous bounds on the renormalisation fixed point for period doubling in families of unimodal maps with degree $4$ critical point. We use a contraction mapping argument to bound essential eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for…
We consider the task of feature selection for reconstruction which consists in choosing a small subset of features from which whole data instances can be reconstructed. This is of particular importance in several contexts involving for…
The decomposition of correlation functions into conformal blocks is an indispensable tool in conformal field theory. For spinning correlators, non-trivial tensor structures are needed to mediate between the conformal blocks, which are…
Virasoro irregular conformal block is presented as the expectation value of Jack-polynomials of the beta-deformed Penner-type matrix model and is compared with the inner product of Gaiotto states with arbitrary rank. It is confirmed that…
We show how to compute conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations using the formalism described in arXiv:1905.00036 and arXiv:1905.00434, and present several explicit examples of blocks derived via this method. The…
We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation functions of symmetric traceless tensors in the presence of the defect.…
We introduce and study a mathematical framework for a broad class of regularization functionals for ill-posed inverse problems: Regularization Graphs. Regularization graphs allow to construct functionals using as building blocks linear…
A framework to represent and compute two-loop $N$-point Feynman diagrams as double-integrals is discussed. The integrands are 'generalised one-loop type" multi-point functions multiplied by simple weighting factors. The final integrations…
We develop a calculus of variations for functionals on certain spaces of conformal maps. Such a space \Omega\ is composed of all maps that are conformal on domains containing a fix compact annular set of the Riemann sphere, and that are…
