We present a classical conformal field theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional spacetime background. The dynamical object is a space-filling string, and the evolution may be thought as occurring on the manifold of the conformal group. The…

Correlation function of twist operators is a natural quantity of interest in two-dimensional conformal field theory (2d CFT) and finds relevance in various physical contexts. For computing twist operator correlators associated with generic…
We construct and thoroughly study a new integrable example of the AdS/CFT correspondence with Schr\"{o}dinger symmetry. On the gravity side, the supergravity solution depends on two parameters and is obtained by marginally deforming the…
Global conformal invariance determines the form of two and three-point functions of quasi-primary operators in a conformal field theory, and generates nontrivial relations between terms in the operator product expansion. These ideas are…
We compute three-point correlators between the stress-energy tensor and conserved currents of conformal field theories (CFTs) in 2+1 dimensions. We first compute the correlators in the large-flavor-number expansion of conformal gauge…
A new class of conformal field theories is presented, where the background gravitational field is conformally flat. Conformally flat (CF) spacetimes enjoy conformal properties quite similar to the ones of flat spacetime. The conformal…
