Superconformal transformations are derived for the $\N=2,4 supermultiplets corresponding to the simplest chiral primary operators. These are applied to two, three and four point correlation functions. When $\N=4$, results are obtained for…
The evolution of the expectation values of one and two points scalar field operators and of positive localization operators, generated by an istantaneous point source is non local. Non locality is attributed either to zero point vacuum…
The Koopman operator is a linear operator that describes the evolution of scalar observables (i.e., measurement functions of the states) in an infinitedimensional Hilbert space. This operator theoretic point of view lifts the dynamics of a…
The paper presents a model-independent, nonperturbative proof of operator product expansions in quantum field theory. As an input, a recently proposed phase space condition is used that allows a precise description of point field…

We consider a conformal field theory in the presence of a boundary, and explain how two-point correlators of mixed bulk-local operators can be bootstrapped by exploiting the analytical structure of the conformal blocks. This yields the…
Tau-based finite-energy sum-rule (FESR) analyses often assume that scales $s_0\sim m_\tau^2$ are large enough that (i) integrated duality violations (DVs) can be neglected, and (ii) contributions from non-perturbative OPE condensates of…
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…
