Local quark-hadron duality violations in conventional applications of the operator product expansion are proposed to have their origin in the fact that the QCD vacuum or a hadronic state is not only characterized by nonvanishing expectation…
We are focused on the idea that observables in quantum physics are a bit more than just hermitian operators and that this is, in general, a "tricky business". The origin of this idea comes from the fact that there is a subtle difference…

Inspired by the spin geometry theorem, two operators are defined which measure angles in the quantum theory of geometry. One operator assigns a discrete angle to every pair of surfaces passing through a single vertex of a spin network. This…
The operator product expansion in four-dimensional superconformal field theory is discussed. The OPE takes a particularly simple form for chiral operators, in $N=1$ and $N=2$, and for analytic operators, in $N=2$ and $N=4$. It is argued…
We examine the scaling of geodesic correlation functions in two-dimensional gravity and in spin systems coupled to gravity. The numerical data support the scaling hypothesis and indicate that the quantum geometry develops a non-perturbative…
If gravity is asymptotically safe, operators will exhibit anomalous scaling at the ultraviolet fixed point in a way that makes the theory effectively two-dimensional. A number of independent lines of evidence, based on different approaches…
We calculate the coefficients of operators with dimensions d <= 7 in the operator product expansion of correlators of q Gamma Q currents, for the effective field theory of an infinite-mass quark, Q. Exact two-loop results are obtained, with…
Limits on the regions of $Q^2$ and x where the operator product expansion canbe safely used, at small values of x are given. For a fixed large $Q^2$ there is an $x_0(Q^2)$ such that for Bjorken x-values below $x_0$ the operator product…
We present an algorithm for constructing the Wilson operator product expansion (OPE) for perturbative interacting quantum field theory in general Lorentzian curved spacetimes, to arbitrary orders in perturbation theory. The remainder in…
We study self-adjoint extensions of operators which are the product of the multiplication operator by an analytic function and the analytic continuation in a strip. We compute the deficiency indices of the product operator for a wide class…

Using (2+$\epsilon$)-dimensional quantum gravity recently formulated by Kawai, Kitazawa and Ninomiya, we calculate the scaling dimensions of manifestly generally covariant operators in two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to $(p,q)$…
We consider two-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to matter fields which are renormalizable, but not conformal invariant. Questions concerning the $\b$ function and the effective action are addressed, and the effective action and the…
In a previous article we have introduced an operator representing the three-dimensional scalar curvature in loop quantum gravity. In this article we examine the new curvature operator in the setting of quantum-reduced loop gravity. We…
The vacuum correlations of the gravitational field are highly non-trivial to be defined and computed, as soon as their arguments and indices do not belong to a background but become dynamical quantities. Their knowledge is essential however…
Some first results are presented regarding the behavior of invariant correlations in simplicial gravity, with an action containing both a bare cosmological term and a lattice higher derivative term. The determination of invariant…
We show that in boundary CFTs, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the boundary operator expansion of the two-point correlation function and a power series expansion of the layer susceptibility. This general property allows the…
In this paper we explore how to describe a bulk moving particle in the dual conformal field theories (CFTs). One aspect of this problem is to construct the dual state of the moving particle. On the other hand one should find the…
