In this paper and a companion one, we study the effect of integrable line defects on entanglement entropy in massive integrable field theories in 1+1 dimensions. The current paper focuses on topological defects that are purely transmissive.…
We show how to construct 2d field theories with holomorphic integrability from defect setups in 4d holomorphic BF. In a simple example setup, we explicitly construct the 2d theory and perform an initial classical analysis. Making use of the…
We introduce the notion of a classical dihedral affine Gaudin model, associated with an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}}$ equipped with an action of the dihedral group $D_{2T}$, $T \geq 1$ through (anti-)linear…
Massive integrable field theories in $1+1$ dimensions are defined at the Lagrangian level, whose classical equations of motion are related to the ``non-abelian'' Toda field equations. They can be thought of as generalizations of the…
We review a class of integrable, supersymmetric defect conformal field theories which have holographic duals in the form of probe brane models. Our main examples are defect versions of N=4 SYM and ABJM theory, both involving a domain wall…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…
This research investigates a novel class of one-dimensional theories characterised by a distinctly defined infinite interaction range. We propose that such theories emerge naturally through a mesoscopic feedback mechanism. In this…
We derive a dispersion relation for two-point correlation functions in defect conformal field theories. The correlator is expressed as an integral over a (single) discontinuity that is controlled by the bulk channel operator product…
Recent attempts to determine the pion polarizability by dispersion relations yield values that disagree with the predictions of chiral perturbation theory. These dispersion relations are based on specific forms for the absorptive part of…
1+1 dimensional integrable quantum field theories correspond to a sparse subset of quantum field theories where the calculation of physically interesting observables can be brought to explicit, closed and manageable expressions thanks to…
With the present trend in experimental particle physics of probing yet shorter distances and with the requirement on the theoretical side of renormalizability, conformal invariance becomes an attractive symmetry for particle interactions.…
We argue that conformal invariance is a common thread linking several scalar effective field theories that appear in the double copy and scattering equations. For a derivatively coupled scalar with a quartic ${\cal O}(p^4)$ vertex,…
The light-cone approach is reviewed. This method allows to find the underlying quantum field theory for any integrable lattice model in its gapless regime. The relativistic spectrum and S-matrix follows straightforwardly in this way through…
Topological defect lines (TDLs) in two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) are standard examples of generalized symmetries in quantum field theory. Integrable lattice incarnations of these TDLs, such as those provided by…
The $d=2$ critical Ising model is described by an exactly solvable Conformal Field Theory (CFT). The deformation to $d=2+\epsilon$ is a relatively simple system at strong coupling outside of even dimensions. Using novel numerical and…
We describe applications of (perturbed) conformal field theories to two-dimensional disordered systems. We present various methods of study~: (i) {\it A direct method} in which we compute the explicit disorder dependence of the correlation…
Motivated by the three-dimensional topological field theory / two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) correspondence, we study a broad class of one-dimensional quantum mechanical models, known as anyonic chains, that can give rise to…
We complete the first stage of constructing a theory of fields not investigated before; these fields transform according to Lorentz group representations decomposable into an infinite direct sum of finite-dimensional irreducible…
Different group structures which underline the integrable systems are considered. In some cases, the quantization of the integrable system can be provided with substituting groups by their quantum counterparts. However, some other group…
It has been shown recently that deformations of some integrable field theories in (1+1)-dimensions possess an infinite number of charges that are asymptotically conserved in the scattering of soliton like solutions. Such charges are not…
