Multipoint Green's functions in 1+1 dimensional integrable quantum field theories

H. M. Babujian, M. Karowski, A. M. Tsvelik

We calculate the multipoint Green functions in 1+1 dimensional integrable quantum field theories. We use the crossing formula for general models and calculate the 3 and 4 point fun…

On the Question of a Possible Infrared Zero in the Beta Function of the Finite- Gross-Neveu Model

Gongjun Choi, Thomas Ryttov, Robert Shrock

We investigate whether the beta function of the finite- Gross-Neveu model, as calculated up to the four-loop level, exhibits evidence for an infrared zero. As part of our analys…

Leading Order Anomalous Dimensions at the Wilson-Fisher Fixed Point from CFT

Konstantinos Roumpedakis

In this paper we consider theory in dimensions at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point where the theory becomes conformal. We extend the method in arXiv:1505.00963 for calcula…

On Background Independence and Duality Invariance in String Theory

Olaf Hohm

Closed string theory exhibits an O(D,D) duality symmetry on tori, which in double field theory is manifest before compactification. I prove that to first order in there is no…

Exotic Dual of Type II Double Field Theory

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Fabio Riccioni

We perform an exotic dualization of the Ramond-Ramond fields in type II double field theory, in which they are encoded in a Majorana-Weyl spinor of O(D,D). Starting from a first-or…

Bootstrapping superconformal theories

Madalena Lemos, Pedro Liendo, Carlo Meneghelli +1

We initiate the bootstrap program for superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in four dimensions. The problem is considered from two fronts: the protected subsector d…

Compensating strong coupling with large charge

Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Orestis Loukas, Domenico Orlando +1

We study some (conformal) field theories with global symmetries in the sector where the value of the global charge is large. We find (as expected) that the low energy excitatio…
