We review our recent results on the physics of quantum Hall fluids at Jain and non conventional fillings within a general field theoretic framework. We focus on a peculiar conformal field theory (CFT), the one obtained by means of the…

We show that the $SU(N)$, level-1 Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal field theory provides a natural realization of the Yangian $Y(sl_N)$ for $N\geq 3$. We also construct a hamiltonian $H_2$ which commutes with the Yangian generators and study…

The two-dimensional case occupies a special position in the theory of critical phenomena due to the exact results provided by lattice solutions and, directly in the continuum, by the infinite-dimensional character of the conformal algebra.…

We propose a connection between conformal field theory (CFT) and the exact solution and integrability of the reduced BCS model of superconductivity. The relevant CFT is given by the $SU(2)_k$-WZW model in the singular limit when the level k…

In this note we investigate a new type of non-commutative field theory based on a constant skew-symmetric three-form parameter. In 3+1 dimensions such a three-form parameter can be viewed as a short-distance regulator which nevertheless…

We will propose a derivation of the correspondence between certain gauge theories with N=2 supersymmetry and conformal field theory discovered by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa in the spirit of Seiberg-Witten theory. Based on certain results…

For a conformal theory it is natural to seek the conformal moduli space, M_c to which it belongs, generated by the exactly marginal deformations. By now we should have the tools to determine M_c in the presence of enough supersymmetry. Here…

We study general properties of the classical solutions in non-polynomial closed string field theory and their relationship with two dimensional conformal field theories. In particular we discuss how different conformal field theories which…

Conformal invariance often accompanies criticality in Hermitian systems. However, its fate in non-Hermitian settings is less clear, especially near exceptional points where the Hamiltonian becomes non-diagonalizable. Here we investigate…

Conformal algebra on R x S^3 derived from quantized gravitational fields is examined. The model we study is a renormalizable quantum theory of gravity in four dimensions described by a combined system of the Weyl action for the traceless…

We use the Hamiltonian theory developed by Shankar and Murthy to study a quantum Hall system in a tilted magnetic field. With a finite width of the system in the $z$ direction, the parallel component of the magnetic field introduces…

We investigate the phase structure of non-commutative scalar field theories and find evidence for ordered phases which break translation invariance. A self-consistent one-loop analysis indicates that the transition into these ordered phases…

Scalar field theories in $\text{(A)dS}_{2}$ with integer scaling dimensions $\Delta = k+1$ are characterised by the existence of a pair of (anti-)holomorphic higher-spin currents. We explore the consequences of this to describe their…

We consider interacting, charged spins on a torus described by a gapped Hamiltonian with a unique groundstate and conserved local charge. Using quasi-adiabatic evolution of the groundstate around a flux-torus, we prove, without any…

A new method for computing exact conformal partial wave expansions is developed and applied to approach the problem of Hilbert space (Wightman) positivity in a non-perturbative four-dimensional quantum field theory model. The model is based…

A model consisting of a single massless scalar field with a topological coupling to a pure gauge field is defined and studied. It possesses an SL(2,Z) symmetry as a consequence of the gauge invariance. We propose that by adding impurities…

We argue that conformal invariance is a common thread linking several scalar effective field theories that appear in the double copy and scattering equations. For a derivatively coupled scalar with a quartic ${\cal O}(p^4)$ vertex,…

In a short review of recent work, we discuss the general problem of constructing the actions of new conformal field theories from old conformal field theories. Such a construction follows when the old conformal field theory admits new…

Quadratic band touching in fermionic systems defines a universality class distinct from that of linear Dirac points, yet its characterization as a quantum critical point remains incomplete. In this work, I show that a $(d+1)$-dimensional…

We systematically study how the integrality of the conformal characters shapes the space of fermionic rational conformal field theories in two dimensions. The integrality suggests that conformal characters on torus with a given choice of…
