[HTML][HTML] Selected topics in analytic conformal bootstrap: A guided journey

A Bissi, A Sinha, X Zhou - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review aims to offer a pedagogical introduction to the analytic conformal bootstrap
program via a journey through selected topics. We review analytic methods which include …

Spinors in (anti-) de Sitter Space

V Schaub - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We explore analytical aspects of correlators involving Dirac spinors in d+ 1-
dimensional de Sitter space. Adapting the formalism of Sleight and Taronna, we show how …

Line defects in fermionic CFTs

S Giombi, E Helfenberger, H Khanchandani - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study line defects in the fermionic CFTs in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa
universality class in dimensions 2< d< 4. These CFTs may be described as the IR fixed …

Scalar QED in AdS

A Ankur, D Carmi, L Di Pietro - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - arts.units.it
We consider scalar QED with Nf flavors in AdSD. For D< 4 the theory is strongly-coupled in
the IR. We use the spin 1 spectral representation to compute and efficiently resum the …

Fermions in boundary conformal field theory: crossing symmetry and E-expansion

CP Herzog, V Schaub - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We use the equations of motion in combination with crossing symmetry to constrain
the properties of interacting fermionic boundary conformal field theories. This combination is …

Bootstrap** boundary-localized interactions II. Minimal models at the boundary

C Behan, L Di Pietro, E Lauria, BC van Rees - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We provide evidence for the existence of non-trivial unitary conformal boundary
conditions for a three-dimensional free scalar field, which can be obtained via a coupling to …

Taming mass gaps with anti–de Sitter space

C Copetti, L Di Pietro, Z Ji, S Komatsu - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Anti–de Sitter space acts as an infrared cutoff for asymptotically free theories, allowing
interpolation between a weakly coupled small-sized regime and a strongly coupled flat …

Probing magnetic line defects with two-point functions

A Gimenez-Grau - arxiv preprint arxiv:2212.02520, 2022 - arxiv.org
This paper studies magnetic line defects in the Wilson-Fisher $ O (N) $ model. A powerful
method to probe the system is to consider mixed two-point functions of the order parameter …

Conformal surface defects in Maxwell theory are trivial

CP Herzog, A Shrestha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We consider a free Maxwell field in four dimensions in the presence of a
codimension two defect. Reflection positive, codimension two defects which preserve …

Exploring confinement in Anti-de Sitter space

R Ciccone, F De Cesare, L Di Pietro… - Journal of High Energy …, 2025 - Springer
A bstract We study Yang-Mills theory on four dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. The Dirichlet
boundary condition cannot exist at arbitrarily large radius because it would give rise to …
