A_n-type AGT correspondence anticipates that conformal blocks of A_n Toda CFT are related to partition functions of a family of 4d N=2 SCFTs. We use gauge/vortex duality to both give a precise form of the correspondence, and to prove it.…
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.…
One fruitful motivating principle of much research on the family of integrable systems known as ``Toda lattices'' has been the heuristic assumption that the periodic Toda lattice in an affine Lie algebra is directly analogous to the…
In a recent study we considered W3 Toda 4-point functions that involve matrix elements of a primary field with the highest-weight in the adjoint representation of sl3. We generalize this result by considering a semi-degenerate primary…
In this paper we continue our study of the geometric properties of full symmetric Toda systems from \cite{CSS14,CSS17,CSS19}. Namely we describe here a simple geometric construction of a commutative family of vector fields on compact…
Motivated by scalar-tensor gravities, we consider a theory which contains massless scalar fields with different sound speeds. We derive unitarity relations for partial wave amplitudes of $2 \to 2$ scattering, with explicit formulas for…
We analyze the tree-level 2->2 scattering of massive spin-2 bosons in a theory with only relevant and marginal operators and extract the sum rules on the coupling constants and masses required to achieve tree-level unitarity to very high…
We present a systematic derivation for a general formula for the n-point coupling constant valid for affine Toda theories related to any simple Lie algebra {\bf g}. All n-point couplings with $n \geq 4$ are completely determined in terms of…
Although in general there is no meaningful concept of factorization in fields, that in free associative algebras (over a commutative field) can be extended to their respective free field (universal field of fractions) on the level of…
We identify two orthogonal sources of structural entropy in rattler-free granular systems - affine, involving structural changes that only deform the contact network, and topological, corresponding to different topologies of the contact…
A uniform derivation is presented of the self-consistent field equations in a finite basis set. Both restricted and unrestricted Hartree-Fock (HF) theory as well as various density functional (DF) approximations are considered. The unitary…
Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a powerful framework that exploits a separation of scales in physical systems to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. Particularly interesting are few-body systems with…
The study of Finite Size Effects in Quantum Field Theory allows the extraction of precious perturbative and non-perturbative information. The use of scaling functions can connect the particle content (scattering theory formulation) of a QFT…
This paper studies rational functions $\mathfrak{J}_\alpha(q)$, which depend on a positive element $\alpha$ of the root lattice of a root system. These functions arise as Shapovalov pairings of Whittaker vectors in Verma modules of highest…
We use shifted symplectic geometry to construct the Moore-Tachikawa topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) in a category of Hamiltonian schemes. Our new and overarching insight is an algebraic explanation for the existence of these…
Effective field theory (EFT) methods for a uniform system of fermions with short-range, natural interactions are extended to include pairing correlations, as part of a program to develop a systematic Kohn-Sham density functional theory…
Direct verification of the existence of an infinite set of multicritical non-perturbative FPs (Fixed Points) for a single scalar field in two dimensions, is in practice well outside the capabilities of the present standard approximate…
A free field representation for form-factors of exponential operators in the affine A^{(1)}_{N-1} Toda model is proposed. The one and two particle form-factors are calculated explicitly.
A theory of double affine and special double affine bundles, i.e. differential manifolds with two compatible (special) affine bundle structures, is developed as an affine counterpart of the theory of double vector bundles. The motivation…
We present the first computation of the thermodynamic properties of the complex su(3) Toda theory. This is possible thanks to a new string hypothesis, which involves bound states that are non self-conjugate solutions of the Bethe equations.…
