We comment on a program designed for the study of local chiral algebras and their representations in 2D conformal field theory. Based on the algebraic approach described by W. Nahm, this program efficiently calculates arbitrary n-point…

The theory of spinors is developed for locally anisotropic (la) spaces, in brief la-spaces, which in general are modeled as vector bundles provided with nonlinear and distinguished connections and metric structures (such la-spaces contain…

We address the problem of detecting non-locality in coupled N level systems in the language of spin. Through a number of examples, we show that non-locality can be detected via a violation of the standard Bell inequality, irrespective of…

We consider the general question of estimating decay of correlations for non-uniformly expanding maps, for classes of observables which are much larger than the usual class of Holder continuous functions. Our results give new estimates for…

In this paper we extend the nonabelian mirror proposal of two of the authors from two-dimensional gauge theories with connected gauge groups to the case of O(k) gauge groups with discrete theta angles. We check our proposed extension by…

We discuss observables of an equivariant extension of the A-model in the framework of the AKSZ construction. We introduce the A-model observables, a class of observables that are homotopically equivalent to the canonical AKSZ observables…

Following recent work on GLSM localization, we work out curvature couplings for rigidly supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models with superpotential for general target spaces, describing both ordinary and twisted chiral superfields on round…

Vector meson correlators are studied in effective chiral quark models with both local and non-local regulators. A set of sum rules based on dispersion relations is derived, which allows for a comparison of model predictions to data. We show…

Twisted holography relates the two-dimensional chiral algebra subsector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM to the B-model topological string theory on the deformed conifold $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$. We review the relevant aspects of the duality and its two…

The correlations between three arbitrarily far-apart regions of the vacuum state of the free Klein-Gordon field are investigated by means of its finite duration coupling to three localized detectors. It is shown that these correlations…

We show that local correlators in a wide class of kicked chains can be calculated exactly at light cone edges. Extending previous works on dual-unitary systems, the correlators between local operators are expressed through the expectation…

We give a geometrical set up for the semiclassical approximation to euclidean field theories having families of minima (instantons) parametrized by suitable moduli spaces ${\cal M}$. The standard examples are of course Yang-Mills theory and…

We study non-linear $\sigma$-models defined on noncommutative torus as a two dimensional string world-sheet. We consider a quantum group as a noncommutative space-time as well as two points, a circle, and a noncommutative torus. Using the…

We discuss non-commutative field theories in coordinate space. To do so we introduce pseudo-localized operators that represent interesting position dependent (gauge invariant) observables. The formalism may be applied to arbitrary field…

We apply localization techniques to topologically $A$-twisted $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric theories of vector and chiral multiplets on $S^{2}$ and derive a novel exact formula for abelian observables, described by a distribution…

We discuss the toplogical sigma model on an orbifold target space. We describe the moduli space of classical minima for computing correlation functions involving twisted operators, and show, through a detailed computation of an orbifold of…

We study two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}{=}(0,2)$ supersymmetric gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) using supersymmetric localization. We consider $\mathcal{N}{=}(0,2)$ theories with an $R$-symmetry, which can always be defined on curved space…

We study non-compact Gepner models that preserve sixteen or eight supercharges in type II string theories. In particular, we develop an orbifolded Landau-Ginzburg description of these models analogous to the Landau-Ginzburg formulation of…

Cosmological local observables are at best statistically determined by the fundamental theory describing inflation. When the scalar inflaton is coupled uniformly to a collection of subdominant massless gauge vectors, rotational invariance…

We study the equivariant cohomology of a class of multi-field topological LG models, and find that such systems carry intrinsic information about $W$-gravity. As a result, we can construct the gravitational chiral ring in terms of LG…
