We prove the invariance of scalar Feynman graphs of any planar topology under the Yangian level-one momentum symmetry given certain constraints on the propagator powers. The proof relies on relating this symmetry to a planarized version of…
We study possible smooth deformations of Generalized Free Conformal Field Theories in arbitrary dimensions by exploiting the singularity structure of the conformal blocks dictated by the null states. We derive in this way, at the first non…
We consider 5-point functions in conformal field theories in d > 2 dimensions. Using weight-shifting operators, we derive recursion relations which allow for the computation of arbitrary conformal blocks appearing in 5-point functions of…
We introduce manifestly crossing-symmetric expansions for arbitrary systems of 1D CFT correlators. These expansions are given in terms of certain Polyakov blocks which we define and show how to compute efficiently. Equality of OPE and…
Feynman integrals obey linear relations governed by intersection numbers, which act as scalar products between vector spaces. We present a general algorithm for constructing multivariate intersection numbers relevant to Feynman integrals,…
We introduce a nonabelianization map for conformal blocks, which relates $c=1$ Virasoro blocks on a Riemann surface $C$ to Heisenberg blocks on a branched double cover $\widetilde{C}$ of $C$. The nonabelianization map uses the datum of a…
Quantum field theories in AdS generate conformal correlation functions on the boundary, and in the limit where AdS is nearly flat one should be able to extract an S-matrix from such correlators. We discuss a particularly simple…
Recently a perturbative theory has been constructed, starting from the Feynman rules of the nonlinear sigma model at the tree level in the presence of an external vector source coupled to the flat connection and of a scalar source coupled…
We study the $n$-point functions of scalar multi-trace operators in the $U(N_c)$ gauge theory with adjacent scalars, such as ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills, at tree-level by using finite group methods. We derive a set of formulae of the…
We prove that for any additive noise channel over $\mathbb{F}_q$, there exist error-correcting codes approaching channel capacity encodable by arithmetic circuits (with weighted addition gates) over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size $O(n)$ and depth…
We present a method for a recursive graphical construction of Feynman diagrams with their correct multiplicities in quantum electrodynamics. The method is first applied to find all diagrams contributing to the vacuum energy from which all…
Let $\mathbb V=\bigoplus_{n\in\mathbb N}\mathbb V(n)$ be a $C_2$-cofinite VOA, not necessarily rational or self-dual. In this paper, we establish various versions of the sewing-factorization (SF) theorems for conformal blocks associated to…
We present a new method for the momentum expansion of Feynman integrals with arbitrary masses and any number of loops and external momenta. By using the parametric representation we derive a generating function for the coefficients of the…
We present an iterative method for generating the complete set of self-energy Feynman diagrams at arbitrary order for the single-polaron problem with arbitrary linear coupling to the lattice. The approach combines a combinatorial…
In the high energy limit of scattering amplitudes in Quantum Chromodynamics and supersymmetric theories the dominant Feynman diagrams are characterized by a hidden integrability. A well-known example is that of Odderon exchange, which can…
A scalar field obeying a Lorentz invariant higher order wave equation, is minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field. The propagator and vertex factors for the Feynman diagrams, are determined. As an example we write down the matrix…
For a long time, the predictive limits of perturbative quantum field theory have been limited by our inability to carry out loop calculations to arbitrarily high order, which become increasingly complex as the order of perturbation theory…
For expansions in one-dimensional conformal blocks, we provide a rigorous link between the asymptotics of the spectral density of exchanged primaries and the leading singularity in the crossed channel. Our result has a direct application to…
Fixed point combinators (and their generalization: looping combinators) are classic notions belonging to the heart of lambda-calculus and logic. We start with an exploration of the structure of fixed point combinators (fpc's), vastly…
Recently, a worldsheet dual to free ${\cal N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills has been proposed in terms of twistor variables for ${\rm AdS}_5$, in parallel to that for the ${\rm AdS}_3$ dual to the free symmetric orbifold CFT. In the latter case,…
