An asymptotically safe guide to quantum gravity and matter

A Eichhorn - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Asymptotic safety generalizes asymptotic freedom and could contribute to understanding
physics beyond the Standard Model. It is a candidate scenario to provide an ultraviolet …

Entanglement entropy: holography and renormalization group

T Nishioka - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
Entanglement entropy plays a variety of roles in quantum field theory, including the
connections between quantum states and gravitation through the holographic principle. This …

Walking, Weak first-order transitions, and Complex CFTs

V Gorbenko, S Rychkov, B Zan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer

A Mellin space approach to the conformal bootstrap

R Gopakumar, A Kaviraj, K Sen, A Sinha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We describe in more detail our approach to the conformal bootstrap which uses the
Mellin representation of CFT d four point functions and expands them in terms of crossing …

[HTML][HTML] Selected topics in the large quantum number expansion

L Alvarez-Gaume, D Orlando, S Reffert - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
In this review we study quantum field theories and conformal field theories with global
symmetries in the limit of large charge for some of the generators of the symmetry group. At …

The critical O (N) CFT: Methods and conformal data

J Henriksson - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract The critical O (N) CFT in spacetime dimensions 2< d< 4 is one of the most important
examples of a conformal field theory, with the Ising CFT at N= 1, 2⩽ d< 4, as a notable …

Conformal bootstrap in Mellin space

R Gopakumar, A Kaviraj, K Sen, A Sinha - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We propose a new approach towards analytically solving for the dynamical content of
conformal field theories (CFTs) using the bootstrap philosophy. This combines the original …

Bootstrapping the O (N) archipelago

F Kos, D Poland, D Simmons-Duffin, A Vichi - Journal of High Energy …, 2015 - Springer
A bstract We study 3d CFTs with an O (N) global symmetry using the conformal bootstrap for
a system of mixed correlators. Specifically, we consider all nonvanishing scalar four-point …

Notes on a surface defect in the O (N) model

S Giombi, B Liu - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
