The conformal bootstrap: Theory, numerical techniques, and applications

D Poland, S Rychkov, A Vichi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
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 …

Unraveling hadron structure with generalized parton distributions

AV Belitsky, AV Radyushkin - Physics reports, 2005 - Elsevier
The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a
universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They …

Holography from conformal field theory

I Heemskerk, J Penedones… - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The locality of bulk physics at distances below the AdS length scale is one of the remarkable
aspects of AdS/CFT duality, and one of the least tested. It requires that the AdS radius be …

From dS to AdS and back

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We describe in more detail the general relation uncovered in our previous work
between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space …

Compton black-hole scattering for s≤ 5/2

M Chiodaroli, H Johansson, P Pichini - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Quantum scattering amplitudes for massive matter have received new attention in
connection to classical calculations relevant to gravitational-wave physics. Amplitude …

Light-ray operators in conformal field theory

P Kravchuk, D Simmons-Duffin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We argue that every CFT contains light-ray operators labeled by a continuous spin
J. When J is a positive integer, light-ray operators become integrals of local operators over a …

Writing CFT correlation functions as AdS scattering amplitudes

J Penedones - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
We explore the Mellin representation of conformal correlation functions recently proposed by
Mack. Examples in the AdS/CFT context reinforce the analogy between Mellin amplitudes …

Spinning conformal correlators

MS Costa, J Penedones, D Poland… - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
A bstract We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing
computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an indexfree …

Conformal collider physics: Energy and charge correlations

DM Hofman, J Maldacena - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We study observables in a conformal field theory which are very closely related to the ones
used to describe hadronic events at colliders. We focus on the correlation functions of the …
