We show that the degenerate positive-norm physical propagating fields of the open bosonic string can be gauged to the higher rank fields at the same mass level. As a result, their scattering amplitudes can be determined from those of the…

Use of semi-leptonic decays has become standard in constraining the Unitarity Triangle. Bearing in mind that precise calculations of these are very challenging, we propose an entirely new approach. In particular the |Vcb| + epsilon_K…
We present a new method to identify the Boundary Conformal Field Theories (BCFTs) describing the critical points of the Ising model on the strip. It consists in measuring the low-lying excitation energies spectra of its quantum spin chain…
We propose a holographic dual of boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) with $T\bar T$ deformation, i.e. of $T\bar T$ BCFT. Our holographic proposal distinguishes two types of $T\bar T$ BCFTs, depending on whether the $T\bar T$ deformation…
Using the recently developed exact numerical renormalization group (NRG) method, we analyse the NRG truncation errors $\delta \chi$ of the local magnetic susceptibility and $\delta F$ of the free energy for the spin-boson model (SBM). We…

We study conformal twist field four-point functions on a $\mathbb Z_N$ orbifold. We examine in detail the case $N=3$ and analyze theories obtained by replicated $N$-times a minimal model with central charge $c<1$. A fastly convergent…
We derive a field theory for the two-dimensional classical dimer model by applying bosonization to Lieb's (fermionic) transfer-matrix solution. Our constructive approach gives results that are consistent with the well-known height theory,…
We both review and augment the lightcone conformal truncation (LCT) method. LCT is a Hamiltonian truncation method for calculating dynamical quantities in QFT in infinite volume. This document is a self-contained, pedagogical introduction…
A universal symmetric truncation of the bosonic string Hilbert space yields all known closed fermionic string theories in ten dimensions, their D-branes and their open descendants. We highlight the crucial role played by group theory and…
Starting with exact solutions to string theory on curved spacetimes we obtain deformations that represent gravitational shock waves. These may exist in the presence or absence of sources. Sources are effectively induced by a tachyon field…
We employ a geometric framework to compute the leading high-energy behaviour of tree-level scattering amplitudes in theories containing $N$ Nambu-Goldstone bosons and a single Higgs-like scalar with an arbitrary potential $V$. Using these…

Effective field theories (EFTs) provide an excellent framework for the search of heavy physics beyond the Standard Model, using the so-called bottom-up and top-down approaches. However, the vastness of possible UV scenarios makes the…
The goal of this article is to provide a practical method to calculate, in a scalar theory, accurate numerical values of the renormalized quantities which could be used to test any kind of approximate calculation. We use finite truncations…
