We study two-point functions of single-trace half-BPS operators in the presence of a supersymmetric Wilson line in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. We use inversion formula technology in order to reconstruct the CFT data starting from a single…
We initiate the calculation of loop corrections to correlation functions in 4D defect CFTs. More precisely, we consider N=4 SYM with a codimension-one defect separating two regions of space, x_3>0 and x_3<0, where the gauge group is SU(N)…
We develop a systematic unitarity method for loop-level AdS scattering amplitudes, dual to non-planar CFT correlators, from both bulk and boundary perspectives. We identify cut operators acting on bulk amplitudes that put virtual lines on…
We study general correlation functions of various quantum field theories in the holographic setup. Following the holographic proposal, we investigate correlation functions via a geodesic length connecting boundary operators. We show that…
We complete the computation of the two-loop helicity amplitudes for the production of three photons at hadron colliders, including all contributions beyond the leading-color approximation. We reconstruct the analytic form of the amplitudes…
We present a procedure to reconstruct objects from holograms recorded in in-line holography settings. Working with one beam of polarized light, the topological derivatives and energies of functionals quantifying hologram deviations yield…
We study holographic defect conformal field theories which are dual to probe branes with bottom-up methods. First we determine the embedding of codimension-1 interface branes in AdS space. Then we compute defect one and two-point functions…
We study a number of (3+1)- and (2+1)-dimensional defect and boundary conformal field theories holographically dual to supergravity theories. In all cases the defects or boundaries are planar, and the defects are codimension-one. Using…
We revisit the computation of $2$-point correlation functions of $\tfrac{1}{2}$-BPS operators in the $6$d, $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ theory in the presence of a surface defect. We focus on the protected sector described by the chiral algebra and…
We consider correlation functions in 6d $(2,0)$ theories of two $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS operators inserted away from a $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS surface defect. In the large central charge limit the leading connected contribution corresponds to sums of…
We provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of higher-codimension defect systems. We review the holographic description and field theoretic properties of codimension-2 defects within the framework of defect Conformal Field…
We compute the one-loop corrections to \tth up to order $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2)$ in the dimensional regularization parameter. We apply the projector method to compute polarized amplitudes, which generalize massless helicity amplitudes to…
The numerical unitarity approach has been important for obtaining reliable QCD predictions for the LHC. Here I discuss the extension of the approach beyond the leading quantum corrections for computing multi-loop amplitudes. The numerical…
We study the stress tensor multiplet four-point function in the 6d maximally supersymmetric $(2,0)$ $A_{N-1}$ and $D_N$ theories, which have no Lagrangian description, but in the large $N$ limit are holographically dual to weakly coupled…
Applying the holographic method, we investigate correlation functions of boundary and defect conformal field theories. To describe boundary conformal field theory, we consider an end of the world brane in an asymptotic AdS space which…
Recent work showed holographic error correcting codes to have simple universal features at $O(1/G)$. In particular, states of fixed Ryu-Takayanagi (RT) area in such codes are associated with flat entanglement spectra indicating maximal…
We study the gauge coupling evolution of a unified theory in the compact Randall-Sundrum model with gauge bosons propagating in the bulk. One-loop corrections in AdS are interpreted in the 4d dual theory as the sum of two contributions: CFT…
Defect conformal field theories (dCFTs) have been attracting increased attention recently, mainly because they enable us to bridge the gap between idealistic, highly symmetric models of our world (such as the particle/string duality) and…
We introduce a fully constructive characterisation of holographic quantum error-correcting codes. That is, given a code and an erasure error we give a recipe to explicitly compute the terms in the RT formula. Using this formalism, we employ…
We present the first numerical computation of two-loop amplitudes based on the unitarity method. As a proof of principle, we compute the four-gluon process. We discuss the new method, analyze its numerical properties and apply it to…
