The Weak Gravity Conjecture is typically stated as a bound on the mass-to-charge ratio of a particle in the theory. Alternatively, it has been proposed that its natural formulation is in terms of the existence of a particle which is…

We study the spectrum of scalar primary operators in any two-dimensional conformal field theory. We show that the scalars alone obey a nontrivial crossing equation. This extends previous work that derived a similar equation for Narain…

The spectrum and statistics of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) are investigated under the hypothesis that scale invariance of the primordial density fluctuations should be promoted to full conformal invariance. As in the…

Double-soft theorems, like its single-soft counterparts, arises from the underlying symmetry principles that constrain the interactions of massless particles. While single soft theorems can be derived in a non-perturbative fashion by…

Considering an arbitrary dimensional FLRW universe in the framework of a generalized S\'{a}ez--Ballester (SB) theory, we establish a noncommutative (NC) cosmological model. We concentrate on the predictions of NC model and compare them with…

This is a set of introductory lecture notes on conformal field theory. Unlike most existing reviews on the subject, CFT is presented here from the perspective of a unitary quantum field theory in Minkowski space-time. It begins with a…

One presents a phase-space noncommutative extension of Quantum Cosmology in the context of a Kantowski-Sachs (KS) minisuperspace model. We obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the noncommutative system through the ADM formalism and…

We compute scattering amplitudes involving one massive scalar and two, three, or four gravitons. We show that when the conformal dimension of the massive scalar is set to zero, the resulting celestial correlators depend {\it only} on the…

The N = 2, 4 superconformal symmetry constraints in d = 4 for four point functions of chiral primary 1/2-BPS operators are derived. The operators are described by symmetric traceless tensors of the internal R-symmetry group. A substantial…

The goal of this paper is to present an isometric representation of the dual space to Ces\`aro function space $C_{p,w}$, $1<p<\infty$, induced by arbitrary positive weight function $w$ on interval $(0,l)$ where $0<l\leqslant\infty$. For…

We highlight and clarify the connection between several ideas and self-dual theories: (a) the operator product expansion (OPE) associativity in celestial conformal field theory (CCFT); (b) the vanishing of tree-level amplitudes; (c) the…

In this work, we study the supersymmetric warped conformal field theory in two dimensions. We show that the Hofman-Strominger theorem on symmetry enhancement could be generalized to the supersymmetric case. More precisely, we find that…

The interpretation proposed in quant-ph/9812011 is extended to the general case of a non-relativistic particle moving in an arbitrary external potential. It is shown that, even in this general case, "particle" solutions exist which do not…

In this paper, we first study the consequence of spacetime translations and Lorentz transformations on Celestial CFT OPEs. Working with the light transforms of the operators belonging to the modified Mellin basis, we found that the leading…

In (1+1)-d CFTs, the 4-point function on the plane can be mapped to the pillow geometry and thereby crossing symmetry gets translated into a modular property. We use these modular features to derive a universal asymptotic formula for OPE…

Nonperturbative effects in c<1 noncritical string theory are studied using the two-matrix model. Such effects are known to have the form fixed by the string equations but the numerical coefficients have not been known so far. Using the…

Celestial holography suggests, among other things, that collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes are described by the OPEs of some putative dual CFT. One of the great successes has been the insight that this duality is true…
