We investigate energy correlators in four-dimensional gravitational theories, which provide a simple class of infrared-finite observables. We compute the one- and two-point energy correlators at one loop in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity and…
The renormalization group flow in two--dimensional field theories is modified if they are coupled to gravity. Beta function coefficients are changed, the $c$--theorem is no longer strictly valid, and flows from fixed points with central…
The two-point correlation function in thin films is studied near the critical point of the corresponding bulk system. Based on fieldtheoretic renormalization group theory the dependences of this correlation function on the lateral momentum,…
