We show that the conformal data of a range of large-$N$ CFTs, the melonic CFTs, are specified by constrained extremization of the universal part of the sphere free energy $F=-\log Z_{S^d}$, called $\tilde{F}$. This family includes the…

We compute one loop free energy for D=4 Vasiliev higher spin gravities based on Konstein-Vasiliev algebras hu(m;n|4), ho(m;n|4) or husp(m;n|4) and subject to higher spin preserving boundary conditions, which are conjectured to be dual to…

The CPT theorem states that a unitary and Lorentz-invariant theory must also be invariant under a discrete symmetry $\mathbf{CRT}$ which reverses charge, time, and one spatial direction. In this article, we study a $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times…

Many CFTs can be extended to lines of nonlocal CFTs parametrised by the scaling dimension $\Delta$ of the fundamental field appearing in the action. $\Delta=\frac{d}{2}-\zeta$ is set by the exponent of the kinetic term…

We show irreversibility of the renormalization group flow in non-unitary but ${\cal PT}$-invariant quantum field theory in two space-time dimensions. In addition to unbroken $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry and a positive energy spectrum, we assume…

We construct a new class of 1/4-BPS time dependent domain-wall solutions with null-like metric and dilaton in type II supergravities, which admit a null-like big bang singularity. Based on the domain-wall/QFT correspondence, these solutions…
