We present new asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories. These formulas involve products of four or more coefficients and include light-light-heavy as well as heavy-heavy-heavy contributions.…

We use the numerical conformal bootstrap in two dimensions to search for finite, closed sub-algebras of the operator product expansion (OPE), without assuming unitarity. We find the minimal models as special cases, as well as additional…

The operator product expansion (OPE) of twist operators in the replica trick framework enables a long-distance expansion of the mutual information (MI) in conformal field theories (CFTs). In this expansion, the terms are labeled by primary…

This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…

A generalized Clifford manifold is proposed in which there are coordinates not only for the basis vector generators, but for each element of the Clifford group, including the identity scalar. These new quantities are physically interpreted…

We give in this paper which is the fifth in a series of eight a theory of covariant derivatives of multivector and extensor fields based on the geometric calculus of an arbitrary smooth manifold M, and the notion of a connection extensor…

We study the fundamentals of quantum field theory on a rigid de Sitter space. We show that the perturbative expansion of late-time correlation functions to all orders can be equivalently generated by a non-unitary Lagrangian on a Euclidean…

We consider a model of a D-dimensional tethered manifold interacting by excluded volume in R^d with a single point. Use of intrinsic distance geometry provides a rigorous definition of the analytic continuation of the perturbative expansion…

A leading twist expansion in terms of bilocal operators is proposed for the structure functions of deeply inelastic scattering near the elastic limit $x \to 1$, which is also applicable to a range of other hard quasi-elastic processes.…

We study the defect operator product expansion (OPE) of displacement operators in free and interacting conformal field theories using replica methods. We show that as $n$ approaches $1$ a contact term can emerge when the OPE contains defect…

Let $E_{d}(\ell)$ denote the space of all closed $n$-gons in $\R^{d}$ (where $d\ge 2$) with sides of length $\ell_1,..., \ell_n$, viewed up to translations. The spaces $E_d(\ell)$ are parameterized by their length vectors $\ell=(\ell_1,...,…

We study the average number of simplices $N'(r)$ at geodesic distance $r$ in the dynamical triangulation model of euclidean quantum gravity in four dimensions. We use $N'(r)$ to explore definitions of curvature and of effective global…

Conformal transformations of a Euclidean (complex) plane have some kind of completeness (sufficiency) for the solution of many mathematical and physical-mathematical problems formulated on this plane. There is no such completeness in the…

There are presented certain results on extending continuous linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued continuous functions (defined on a compact Hausdorff space X) to linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued measurable functions…

The six-derivative conformal scalar operator was originally found by Hamada in its critical dimension of spacetime, $d=6$. We generalize this construction to arbitrary dimensions $d$ by adding new terms cubic in gravitational curvatures and…

We show that the category OS of operator spaces, with complete contractions as morphisms, is locally countably presentable. This result, together with its symmetric monoidal closed structure with respect to the projective tensor product of…

The conformal algebra provides powerful constraints, which guarantee that renormalized conformally covariant operators exist in the hypothetical conformal limit of the theory, where the $\beta$-function vanishes. Thus, in this limit also…

In this paper, we consider the locally convex spaces of entire functions with growth given by proximate orders, and study the representation as a differential operator of a continuous homomorphism from such a space to another one. As a…
