We investigate the phase-space of a flat FRW universe including both a scalar field, $\phi,$ coupled to matter, and radiation. The model is inspired in scalar-tensor theories of gravity, and thus, related with $F(R)$ theories through…

We present an analytic study of conformal field theories on the real projective space $\mathbb{RP}^d$, focusing on the two-point functions of scalar operators. Due to the partially broken conformal symmetry, these are non-trivial functions…

We construct the effective field theory of the Calogero-Sutherland model in the thermodynamic limit of large number of particles $N$. It is given by a $\winf$ conformal field theory (with central charge $c=1$) that describes {\it exactly}…
