This lecture series is based on joint work in progress with Shaul Barkan, as well as work in progress of the author. The five sections of these notes correspond to the five lectures, but more details have been added. $2$-dimensional…
We describe conformal field theories, correlation functions of which satisfy equations of the two-dimensional fluid mechanics. Prediction for the energy spectrum is given, $E(k) \sim k^{-25/7}$.
The lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the methods of CFT as applied to two-dimensional critical behaviour.
We argue that the existence of a modular differential equation implies that a certain vector vanishes in Zhu's C2 quotient space, and we check this assertion in numerous examples. If this connection is true in general, it would imply that…
We study the quantum transport generated by the bipartite entanglement in two-dimensional conformal field theory at finite density with the $U(1) \times U(1)$ symmetry associated to the conservation of the electric charge and of the…
This paper describes an approach to generating looping animations using the modular flow and elliptic functions. The modular flow is a flow on lattices with many periodic orbits, and elliptic functions are meromorphic, doubly-periodic…
We explain the basic ideas, describe with proofs the main results, and demonstrate the effectiveness, of an evolving theory of vector-valued modular forms (vvmf). To keep the exposition concrete, we restrict here to the special case of the…
We give a general construction of correlation functions in rational conformal field theory on a possibly non-orientable surface with boundary in terms of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory. The construction applies to any…
For a freely evolving granular fluid, the buildup of spatial correlations in density and flow field is described using fluctuating hydrodynamics. The theory for incompressible flows is extended to the general, compressible case, including…
In this letter we present some new results on modular theory and its application in quantum field theory. In doing this we develop some new proposals how to generalize concepts of geometrical action. Therefore the spirit of this letter is…
The conformal field theory on a Z_N-surface is studied by mapping it on the branched sphere. Using a coulomb gas formalism we construct the minimal models of the theory.
We give an overview of the existence and regularity results for curvature flows and how these flows can be used to solve some problems in geometry and physics.
Warped conformal field theories in two dimensions are exotic nonlocal, Lorentz violating field theories characterized by Virasoro-Kac-Moody symmetries and have attracted a lot of attention as candidate boundary duals to warped AdS$_3$…
We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global $U(1)$ charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically…
Fluid turbulence is a far-from-equilibrium phenomenon and remains one of the most challenging problems in physics. Two-dimensional, fully developed turbulence may possess the largest possible symmetry, the conformal symmetry. We focus on…
We study modular and integral flow polynomials of graphs by means of subgroup arrangements and lattice polytopes. We introduce an Eulerian equivalence relation on orientations, flow arrangements, and flow polytopes; and we apply the theory…
Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFT) play a key role, for instance, in the description of critical geometrical problems (percolation, self avoiding walks, etc.), or of critical points in several classes of disordered systems…

Conformal field theory (CFT) has become an active area of research beyond its origins in statistical physics and attracted much attention due to its intrinsic mathematical interest, which reveals deep connections with other diverse branches…
Known examples of unitary relativistic scale but not conformal-invariant field theories (SFTs) can be embedded into conventional conformal field theories (CFTs). We show that any SFT which is a subsector of a unitary CFT is a free theory.…
