Nonperturbative Mellin Amplitudes

João Pedro Alves Da Silva

Conformal field theory lies at the heart of two central topics in theoretical high energy physics: the study of quantum gravity and the mapping of quantum field theories through the renormalization group. In this thesis we explore a technique to study conf ...

Complex Analysis meets Statistical Mechanics: Applications to Kernel Methods and Conformal Field Theory

Francesco Spadaro

This thesis is centered on questions coming from Machine Learning (ML) and Statistical Field Theory (SFT). In Machine Learning, we consider the subfield of Supervised Learning (SL), and in particular regression tasks where one tries to find a regressor tha ...

A note on the large charge expansion in 4d CFT

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

In this letter, we discuss certain universal predictions of the large charge expansion in conformal field theories with U (1) symmetry, mainly focusing on four-dimensional theories. We show that, while in three dimensions quantum fluctuations are responsib ...

Applications of dispersive sum rules: epsilon-expansion and holography

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, João Pedro Alves Da Silva, Din Carmi

We use Mellin space dispersion relations together with Polyakov conditions to derive a family of sum rules for Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). The defining property of these sum rules is suppression of the contribution of the double twist operators. First ...

Gapped Goldstones at the cut-off scale: a non-relativistic EFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Angelo Esposito, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

At finite density, the spontaneous breakdown of an internal non-Abelian symmetry dictates, along with gapless modes, modes whose gap is fixed by the algebra and proportional to the chemical potential: the gapped Goldstones. Generically the gap of these sta ...

Non-Wilson-Fisher kinks of O(N) numerical bootstrap: From the deconfined phase transition to a putative new family of CFTs

Ning Su

It is well established that the O(N) Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of O(N) vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on th ...

Hamiltonian truncation in Anti-de Sitter spacetime

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Marco Meineri, Kamran Salehi Vaziri, Matthijs Jan Hogervorst

Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are often strongly coupled when the radius of AdS is large, and few methods are available to study them. In this work, we develop a Hamiltonian truncation method to compute the energy spectrum ...

Bootstrapping Heisenberg magnets and their cubic instability

Alessandro Vichi, Ning Su

We study the critical O(3) model using the numerical conformal bootstrap. In particular, we use a recently developed cutting-surface algorithm to efficiently map out the allowed space of conformal field theory data from correlators involving the leading O( ...

Bootstrapping mixed correlators in N=4 super Yang-Mills

Alessandro Vichi, Andrea Manenti

We perform a numerical bootstrap study of the mixed correlator system containing the half-BPS operators of dimension two and three in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills. This setup improves on previous works in the literature that only considered single correlators of ...

Lifshitz point at commensurate melting of chains of Rydberg atoms

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

The recent investigation of chains of Rydberg atoms has brought back the problem of commensurateincommensurate transitions into the focus of current research. In two-dimensional classical systems or in one-dimensional quantum systems, the commensurate melt ...

The S-matrix Bootstrap Reloaded

Aditya Hebbar

Quantum field theories (QFTs) are the backbone upon which the edifice of modern physics is built. In this thesis we explore the S-matrix bootstrap which is a non-perturbative method that constrains the vast space of QFTs by using consistency conditions tha ...

Is a Single Conformer Sufficient to Describe the Reorganization Energy of Amorphous Organic Transport Materials?

Iwona Swiderska, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Kun-Han Lin, Jacob Terence Blaskovits, Raimon Fabregat I De Aguilar-Amat

The reorganization energy (lambda), which quantifies the structural rearrangement of a molecule when accommodating a charge, is a key parameter in the evaluation of charge mobility in molecular solids. However, it is unclear how lambda is influenced by con ...

The art of simulating the early universe. Part I. Integration techniques and canonical cases

Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg

We present a comprehensive discussion on lattice techniques for the simulation of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe. After reviewing the continuum formulation of scalar and gauge field interactions in Minkowski and FLRW backgrounds, ...

Conformal 3-Point Functions and the Lorentzian OPE in Momentum Space

Marc Gillioz

In conformal field theory in Minkowski momentum space, the 3-point correlation functions of local operators are completely fixed by symmetry. Using Ward identities together with the existence of a Lorentzian operator product expansion (OPE), we show that t ...
