Measurement of the inclusive tt¯ cross section in final states with at least one lepton and additional jets with 302 pb−1 of pp collisions at s = 5.02 TeV

Jan Steggemann, Konstantin Androsov, Anna Mascellani, Joanna Malgorzata Wanczyk, Paul Théodore Gabriel Pablo De Bryas Dexmiers d'Archiac

A measurement of the top quark pair (tt¯) production cross section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV is presented. The data were collected at the LHC in autumn 2017, in dedicated runs with low-energy and low-intensity condi ...

Prospects for Bc+ and B+ → τ+ντ at FCC-ee

Donal Patrick Hill, Clement Helsens

The prospects are presented for precise measurements of the branching ratios of the purely leptonic Bc+ → τ+ντ and B+ → τ+ντ decays at the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This work is focused on the hadronic τ(+) → π(+)π(+)π(-) nu(tau) decay in both Bc+ → ...

Bootstrapping smooth conformal defects in Chern-Simons-matter theories

Barak Gabai

The expectation value of a smooth conformal line defect in a CFT is a conformal invariant functional of its path in space-time. For example, in large N holographic theories, these fundamental observables are dual to the open-string partition function in Ad ...

Flux correlators and semiclassics

Eren Clément Firat, Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider correlators for the flux of energy and charge in the background of operators with large global U(1) charge in conformal field theory (CFT). It has recently been shown that the corresponding Euclidean correlators generically admit a semiclassica ...

Null energy constraints on two-dimensional RG flows

Grégoire Olivier Mathys

We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov c-theorem, and derive further independ ...

Hausdorff dimension of fermions on a random lattice

Mattia Guerino Varrone

Geometric properties of lattice quantum gravity in two dimensions are studied numerically via Monte Carlo on Euclidean Dynamical Triangulations. A new computational method is proposed to simulate gravity coupled with fermions, which allows the study of int ...

Identifying Large Charge operators

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Gil Badel

The Large Charge sector of Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can generically be described through a semiclassical expansion around a superfluid background. In this work, focussing on U(1) invariant Wilson-Fisher fixed points, we study the spectrum of spinning l ...

Momentum-resolved spin-conserving two-triplon bound state and continuum in a cuprate ladder

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Thorsten Schmitt, Yi Tseng

Studying multi-particle elementary excitations has provided unique access to understand collective many-body phenomena in correlated electronic materials, paving the way towards constructing microscopic models. In this work, we perform O K-edge resonant in ...

Twist Accumulation in Conformal Field Theory: A Rigorous Approach to the Lightcone Bootstrap

Jiaxin Qiao

We prove that in any unitary CFT, a twist gap in the spectrum of operator product expansion (OPE) of identical scalar quasiprimary operators (i.e. phi x phi) implies the existence of a family of quasiprimary operators O t,l with spins l ->.infinity and twi ...

Thermalization and hydrodynamics of two-dimensional quantum field theories

Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider 2d QFTs as relevant deformations of CFTs in the thermodynamic limit. Using causality and KPZ universality, we place a lower bound on the timescale characterizing the onset of hydrodynamics. The bound is determined parametrically in terms of the ...

The Källén-Lehmann representation in de Sitter spacetime

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Kamran Salehi Vaziri, Manuel Loparco

We study two-point functions of symmetric traceless local operators in the bulk of de Sitter spacetime. We derive the Kallen-Lehmann spectral decomposition for any spin and show that unitarity implies its spectral densities are nonnegative. In addition, we ...

Fast global spectral methods for three-dimensional partial differential equations

Daniel Kressner, Christoph Max Strössner

Global spectral methods offer the potential to compute solutions of partial differential equations numerically to very high accuracy. In this work, we develop a novel global spectral method for linear partial differential equations on cubes by extending th ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

General invariance and equilibrium conditions for lattice dynamics in 1D, 2D, and 3D materials

Nicola Marzari, Samuel Poncé, Changpeng Lin

The long-wavelength behavior of vibrational modes plays a central role in carrier transport, phonon-assisted optical properties, superconductivity, and thermomechanical and thermoelectric properties of materials. Here, we present general invariance and equ ...

Nonperturbative aspects of scattering amplitudes

Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia

In this thesis we study how physical principles imposed on the S-matrix, such as Lorentz invariance, unitarity, crossing symmetry and analyticity constrain quantum field theories at the nonperturbative level. We start with a pedagogical introduction to the ...

Commensurate-incommensurate transition in the chiral Ashkin-Teller model

Frédéric Mila, Samuel Louis Nyckees

We investigate the classical chiral Ashkin-Teller model on a square lattice with the corner transfer matrix renormalization group algorithm. We show that the melting of the period-4 phase in the presence of a chiral perturbation takes different forms depen ...

The Forward Physics Facility at the High-Luminosity LHC

Yiming Li, Yi Zhang, Lesya Shchutska, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Alexey Boyarsky, Wei Liu, Francesco Cerutti

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located s ...

Anomaly-free scale symmetry and gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

In this Letter, we address the question of whether the conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry of a theory of fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, this theory must contain a mechanism of spontaneous breaking of the scale symmet ...

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 ...

Emergence of Classical Magnetic Order from Anderson Towers: Quantum Darwinism in Action

Frédéric Mila

Environment is assumed to play a negative role in quantum mechanics, destroying the coherence in a quantum system and, thus, randomly changing its state. However, for a quantum system that is initially in a degenerate ground state, the situation could be d ...
