abstract

We develop a method for computing correlation functions of twist operators in the bosonic 2-d CFT arising from orbifolds M^N/S_N, where M is an arbitrary manifold. The path integral with twist operators is replaced by a path integral on a covering space with no operator insertions. Thus, even though the CFT is defined on the sphere, the correlators are expressed in terms of partition functions on Riemann surfaces with a finite range of genus g. For large N, this genus expansion coincides with a 1/N expansion. The contribution from the covering space of genus zero is `universal' in the sense that it depends only on the central charge of the CFT. For 3-point functions we give an explicit form for the contribution from the sphere, and for the 4-point function we do an example which has genus zero and genus one contributions. The condition for the genus zero contribution to the 3-point functions to be non--vanishing is similar to the fusion rules for an SU(2) WZW model. We observe that the 3-point coupling becomes small compared to its large N limit when the orders of the twist operators become comparable to the square root of N - this is a manifestation of the stringy exclusion principle.

Probing chiral topological states with permutation defects

quant-ph · 2025-12-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Permutation defects between wavefunction replicas yield multipartite entanglement measures that capture the chiral central charge from bulk states in chiral topological phases.

Signatures of Quantum Chaos in the D1D5 System

hep-th · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Finite-N non-planar mixing in the D1D5 CFT produces level repulsion and random-matrix statistics in symmetry-resolved sectors, while the planar large-N limit yields Poisson statistics.

Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

hep-th · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.

Separability from Multipartite Measures

quant-ph · 2026-05-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Third-order negativity is a necessary and sufficient criterion for full separability of tripartite pure states and extends to mixed states and qudits.

    For generic Z_L orbifolds, naive reduction of the 10d (α')^3 correction fails to match localisation results for twisted half-BPS correlators except at special L values; expanding a twisted Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude recovers the correct coefficients by accounting for twisted sector resonances.
