Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the fascinating universal physics of scale invariant critical points. They describe continuous phase transitions in fluids …
A bstract A key insight of the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlations is the fact that all correlators of slow-roll inflation can be reduced to a unique building block—the four-point …
A bstract Caron-Huot has recently given an interesting formula that determines OPE data in a conformal field theory in terms of a weighted integral of the four-point function over a …
A bstract We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation …

A bstract Equilibrium finite temperature observables of a CFT can be described by a local effective action for background fields—a “thermal effective action”. This effective action …
We study circuit complexity for conformal field theory states in an arbitrary number of dimensions. Our circuits start from a primary state and move along a unitary representation …
A bstract We introduce a large class of conformally-covariant differential operators and a crossing equation that they obey. Together, these tools dramatically simplify calculations …

A bstract We examine the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT. For a 4D bulk theory containing massless particles of spin s=\(\left\{0,\frac {1}{2}, 1,\frac {3}{2} …
