We study the implications of 't Hooft anomaly (i.e. obstruction to gauging) on conformal field theory, focusing on the case when the global symmetry is $\mathbb{Z_2}$. Using the modular bootstrap, universal bounds on (1+1)-dimensional…

Yang-Mills theory in AdS$_{4}$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions is expected to undergo a transition as the AdS radius varies, since the boundary data is incompatible with confinement in flat space. Various mechanisms have been proposed…

We investigate the phase diagram, and the nature of the phase transitions, of three-dimensional monopole-free CP(N-1) models, characterized by a global U(N) symmetry and a U(1) gauge symmetry, and the absence of monopoles. We present…
