A free-field 2d CFT realization of the chiral bms4 algebra is constructed, with vertex operators for graviton and scalar primaries whose OPEs exactly reproduce those from conformal gravity MHV amplitudes.
The paper establishes a Lie-algebraic framework for exact Krylov dynamics in time-dependent quantum systems and introduces a quantum speed limit for complexity growth that retains its time-independent form but saturates only when the Hamiltonian commutes with itself at different times.
Transformers reconstruct the constituent RCFTs in tensor-product theories from low-energy spectra, reaching 98% accuracy on WZW models and generalizing to larger central charges with few out-of-domain examples.
OPE-based recursive renormalization for mixed composite operators gives five-loop anomalous dimensions in phi^4 and two-loop in phi^3 models.
Relativistic continuous matrix product states yield competitive variational approximations to ground state energies and observables in the phi^4, Sine-Gordon, and Sinh-Gordon models, including strongly coupled regimes.
Exact modular S-transforms are derived for GGEs in the symplectic fermion theory, agreeing with conjectures for the W3 zero mode and mirroring free-fermion results for the KdV subset.
Proposes sDQCP between OSp(1|2)-breaking and lattice-rotation-breaking phases via supersphere NLSM and gauge theory with heuristic 3D XY behavior.
Extends the exponentiation of Virasoro conformal blocks in the semiclassical limit to higher-point and higher-genus cases at the level of formal power series using an extended oscillator method.
Derives a three-parameter Yang-Baxter equation from star-triangle and star-star relations in the chiral Potts model as an extension of prior unification of edge and vertex models.
A symmetry-extension construction of an anomalous 4d Z_{N_c}-gauge TQFT cancels the SM mixed anomaly and selects N_c = N_f = 3 as the unique odd-color solution.
Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circle reduction.
Candidate modular invariants and gaugings for continuous G-symmetries with anomaly k are obtained from +1 eigenspaces of semiclassical modular kernels in a BF+kCS SymTFT model.
Numerical extraction of scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients for 32 primary operators in the O(2) Wilson-Fisher CFT via fuzzy-sphere regularization shows agreement with bootstrap predictions.
A conformal field theory treatment of paired fractional quantum Hall states in the quantum point contact geometry yields stable strong-coupling fixed points and distinct transport scaling exponents that serve as fingerprints for identifying the underlying topological order.
All (3,0) admissible solutions are expressed via a universal _3F_2 hypergeometric formula; (3,3) solutions are built from them using Bantay-Gannon duality with only 7 of 15 having proper fusion rules, and further (3,6) and (3,9) solutions are generated as integer points on a polytope via quasi-char
Authors construct canonical and path-integral quantizations for QFT in Klein space using extra modes, deriving correlation functions that match Minkowski space via analytical continuation.
High-temperature limits on higher sheets of the superconformal index for (A1,A2n) Argyres-Douglas theories yield Gang-Kim-Stubbs 3d N=2 theories whose boundaries support Virasoro minimal model VOAs M(2,2n+3) and associated MTCs.
Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.
Derives additivity and fusion rules for defect g-functions in integrable 2D QFT, with effective amplitudes for non-topological cases and lowered entropy contribution in Ising non-topological fusion.
Perturbative computation of 2D NLSM energy-density to fourth order agrees with TBA large-h asymptotics.
Develops a Functorial QFT approach and applies it to analyze the O(N) model in AdS, focusing on crossed-channel diagram contributions to conformal block decomposition in the non-singlet sector.
Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.
Lecture notes deliver a self-contained pedagogical overview of worldsheet strings in AdS3 with NSNS flux, summarizing 25 years of results with emphasis on spectrally flowed correlation functions.
