abstract

Conformal blocks for correlation functions of tensor operators play an increasingly important role for the conformal bootstrap programme. We develop a universal approach to such spinning blocks through the harmonic analysis of certain bundles over a coset of the conformal group. The resulting Casimir equations are given by a matrix version of the Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian that describes the scattering of interacting spinning particles in a 1-dimensional external potential. The approach is illustrated in several examples including fermionic seed blocks in 3D CFT where they take a very simple form.

Crosscap Defects

hep-th · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Crosscap defects are introduced in CFTs via Z2 quotients, with crossing equations derived and CFT data computed in the O(N) model at Gaussian and Wilson-Fisher points showing absent displacement and tilt operators for generic p.

Superconformal Weight Shifting Operators

hep-th · 2025-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Introduces SU(m,m|2n)-covariant weight-shifting operators in the super-Grassmannian formalism to derive all superconformal blocks from half-BPS ones.
