For a conformal vector field $\xi$ on a Riemannian manifold, we say that a point is essential if there is no local metric in the conformal class for which $\xi$ is Killing. We show that the only essential points are isolated zeros of $\xi$.…

This thesis is divided into two parts, where in the first part we investigate the computation of Virasoro 1-point blocks on the torus in the framework of Zamolodchikov's recursion relation. It is widely accepted that this recursion relation…

Families of conformal field theories are naturally endowed with a Riemannian geometry which is locally encoded by correlation functions of exactly marginal operators. We show that the curvature of such conformal manifolds can be computed…

We study the Toda field theory with finite Lie algebras using an extension of the Goulian-Li technique. In this way, we show that, after integrating over the zero mode in the correlation functions of the exponential fields, the resulting…

We study an ${\cal N} = 2$ supersymmetric generalization of the three-dimensional critical $O(N)$ vector model that is described by $N+1$ chiral superfields with superpotential $W = g_1 X \sum_i Z_i^2 + g_2 X^3$. By combining the tools of…

In this work we launch a systematic theory of superconformal blocks for four-point functions of arbitrary supermultiplets. Our results apply to a large class of superconformal field theories including 4-dimensional models with any number…

The $GL(1|1)$ WZW model in the free field realization that uses the $bc$ system is revisited. By bosonizing the $bc$ system we describe the Neveu--Schwarz and Ramond sector modules $\mathcal V^{\text{NS}}_{en}=\bigoplus_{l\in\mathbb…

We prove that E. De Giorgi's conjecture for the nonlocal approximation of free-discontinuity problems extends to the case of functionals defined in terms of the symmetric gradient of the admissible field. After introducing a suitable class…

The construction of conformal blocks for the analysis of multipoint correlation functions with $N > 4$ local field insertions is an important open problem in higher dimensional conformal field theory. This is the first in a series of papers…

Boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) is the study of conformal field theory (CFT) on manifolds with a boundary. We can use conformal symmetry to constrain correlation functions of conformal invariant fields. We compute two-point and…

The cosmological constant $(1/2)\lambda_{1}\phi_{, \mu}\phi ^{, \mu}/\phi ^{2}$ is introduced to the generalized scalar-tensor theory of gravitation with the coupling function $\omega (\phi)=\eta /(\xi -2)$ and the Machian cosmological…

Let G be a connected reductive group. In this paper we are studying the invariant theory of symplectic G-modules. Our main result is that the invariant moment map is equidimensional. We deduce that the categorical quotient is a fibration…

We use modular invariance and crossing symmetry of conformal field theory to reveal approximate reflection symmetries in the spectral decompositions of the partition function in two dimensions in the limit of large central charge and of the…

We review the relation between four-dimensional global conformal blocks and field propagation in ${\rm AdS_5}$. Following the standard argument that marginal perturbations should backreact in the geometry, we turn to the study of scalar…

A recurrent theme in functional analysis is the interplay between the theory of positive definite functions, and their reproducing kernels, on the one hand, and Gaussian stochastic processes, on the other. This central theme is motivated by…

In celestial conformal field theory (CCFT), the 4d massless scalars are represented by 2d conformal operators with conformal dimensions $h=\bar{h}=(1+i\lambda)/2$. The Mellin transform of 4d massless scalar amplitudes gives the conformal…

We introduce a formalism for conformal field theory in four dimensions: a symplectic bi-Grassmannian representation of CFT$_4$ Wightman correlators. Working in Klein space with off-shell spinor-helicity variables, we show that correlators…

Using the notion of Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) in arbitrary space dimension d, we introduce for d=3 quantized nonrelativistic counterpart of twistors as the spinorial representation of O(2,1){\oplus}SO(3) which is the maximal…

Using conformal field theory, we perform a complete analysis of the chiral six-point correlation function C(z)=< \phi_{1,2}\phi_{1,2} \Phi_{1/2,0}(z, \bar z) \phi_{1,2}\phi_{1,2} >, with the four \phi_{1,2} operators at the corners of an…

We find a simple relation between two-dimensional BPS N=2 superconformal blocks and bosonic Virasoro conformal blocks, which allows us to analyze the crossing equations for BPS 4-point functions in unitary (2,2) superconformal theories…
