We generalize, to any space-time dimension, the unitarity bounds of highest weight UIR's of the conformal groups with Lie algebras $so(2,d)$. We classify gauge theories invariant under $so(2,d)$, both integral and half-integral spins. A…
We analyze the gauge structure of a recently proposed superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We find that this structure amounts to a weak Courant-Dorfman algebra, which, in turn, can be interpreted as a strong homotopy Lie algebra.…
Let $\mathcal K$ be an imaginary quadratic field. Let $\Pi$ and $\Pi'$ be irreducible generic cohomological automorphic representation of $GL(n)/{\mathcal K}$ and $GL(n-1)/{\mathcal K}$, respectively. Each of them can be given two natural…
We design efficient algorithms to evaluate modular equations of Siegel and Hilbert type for abelian surfaces over number fields or finite fields using complex approximations. Their output is provably correct when the associated graded ring…
We obtain the elliptic curve corresponding to an $N=2$ superconformal field theory which has an $E_6$ global symmetry at the strong coupling point $\tau=e^{\pi i/3}$. We also find the Seiberg-Witten differential $\lambda_{SW}$ for this…
The model of dense lattice polymers is studied as an example of non-unitary Conformal Field Theory (CFT) with $c=-2$. ``Antisymmetric'' correlation functions of the model are proved to be given by the generalized Kirchhoff theorem.…
In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…
We study correlation functions in two-dimensional conformal field theory coupled to induced gravity in the light-cone gauge. Focussing on the fermion four-point function, we display an unexpected non-perturbative singularity structure:…
Correlation functions of Logarithmic conformal field theory is investigated using the ADS/CFT correspondence and a novel method based on nilpotent weights and 'super fields'. Adding an specific form of interaction, we introduce a…
We establish a general Kronecker limit formula of arbitrary rank over global function fields with Drinfeld period domains playing the role of upper-half plane. The Drinfeld-Siegel units come up as equal characteristic modular forms…
The correlation functions of one-dimensional Hubbard model in the presence of external magnetic field was investigated through the conformal field technique. The long distance behaviour of the correlation functions and their critical…
Making use of a recent result of Borchers, an algebraic version of the Bisognano-Wichmann theorem is given for conformal quantum field theories, i.e. the Tomita-Takesaki modular group associated with the von Neumann algebra of a wedge…
This is a survey of recent work on values of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of pairs of cohomological automorphic representations that are {\it critical} in Deligne's sense. The base field is assumed to be a CM field. Deligne's conjecture is…
Logarithmic operators and logarithmic conformal field theories are reviewed. Prominent examples considered here include c=-2 and c=0 logarithmic conformal field theories. c=0 logarithmic conformal field theories are especially interesting…
Although logarithmic conformal field theories (LCFTs) are known not to factorise many previous findings have only been formulated on their chiral halves. Making only mild and rather general assumptions on the structure of an chiral LCFT we…
Global conformal invariance (GCI) of quantum field theory (QFT) in two and higher space-time dimensions implies the Huygens' principle, and hence, rationality of correlation functions of observable fields (see Commun. Math. Phys. 218 (2001)…
For some time now, conformal field theories in two dimensions have been studied as integrable systems. Much of the success of these studies is related to the existence of an operator algebra of the theory. In this paper, some of the…
