This paper is primarily intended as an introduction for the mathematically inclined to some of the rich algebraic combinatorics arising in for instance CFT. It is essentially self-contained, apart from some of the background motivation and…
In large part, the future utility of modern numerical conformal bootstrap depends on its ability to accurately predict the existence of hitherto unknown non-trivial conformal field theories (CFTs). Here we investigate the extent to which…
A class of two-dimensional field theories with exponential interactions is introduced. The interaction depends on two ``coupling'' matrices and is sufficiently general to include all Toda field theories existing in the literature. Lie point…
We survey several applications of fixed point theorems in the theory of invariant subspaces. The general idea is that a fixed point theorem applied to a suitable map yields the existence of invariant subspaces for an operator on a Banach…
Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE,…
We formulate two-dimensional rational conformal field theory as a natural generalization of two-dimensional lattice topological field theory. To this end we lift various structures from complex vector spaces to modular tensor categories.…
We study conformal field theories (CFTs) on curved spaces including both orientable and unorientable manifolds possibly with boundaries. We first review conformal transformations on curved manifolds. We then compute the identity components…
We study the logarithmic conformal field theories in which conformal weights are continuous subset of real numbers. A general relation between the correlators consisting of logarithmic fields and those consisting of ordinary conformal…
In this note, we discuss some fixed point theorems for contractive self mappings defined on a $G$-metric spaces. More precisely, we give fised point theorems for mappings with a contractive iterate at a point.
This PhD thesis focuses on local conformal nets of von Neumann algebras on the circle. For a more detailed description of its content and of the results published within, see its preface.
Topological field theory in three dimensions provides a powerful tool to construct correlation functions and to describe boundary conditions in two-dimensional conformal field theories.
Entanglement is resolved in conformal field theory (CFT) with respect to conformal families to all orders in the UV cutoff. To leading order, symmetry-resolved entanglement is connected to the quantum dimension of a conformal family, while…
The two-point functions in affine current algebras based on simple Lie algebras are constructed for all representations, integrable or non-integrable. The weight of the conjugate field to a primary field of arbitrary weight is immediately…
A comprehensive introduction to two-dimensional conformal field theory is given.
Global conformal invariance determines the form of two and three-point functions of quasi-primary operators in a conformal field theory, and generates nontrivial relations between terms in the operator product expansion. These ideas are…
As the theory is subject to a section condition, coordinates in double field theory do not represent physical points in an injective manner. We argue that a physical point should be rather one-to-one identified with a `gauge orbit' in the…
We study topological defect lines in two-dimensional rational conformal field theory. Continuous variation of the location of such a defect does not change the value of a correlator. Defects separating different phases of local CFTs with…
We prove a fixed point theorem for closed-graphed, decomposable-valued correspondences whose domain and range is a decomposable set of functions from an atomless measure space to a topological space. One consequence is an improvement of the…
This paper contributes to the Alpay Algebra by demonstrating that the stable outcome of a self referential process, obtained by iterating a transformation through all ordinal stages, is identical to the unique equilibrium of an unbounded…
A solution to the long-standing problem of identifying the conformal field theory governing the transition between quantized Hall plateaus of a disordered noninteracting 2d electron gas, is proposed. The theory is a nonlinear sigma model…
