From to : High-temperature relations, subleading semi-universality, and conformal anomalies
Arnav Advant, Harsh Anand, Nathan Benjamin +6
The free energy of any CFT, , admits two expansions: high temperature () and fast rotation (). We demonstrate that in , local…
Chiral Tube Algebras I: Topological Defect Lines, Twisted Modules, and Finite Gauging
Nathan Benjamin, Ho Tat Lam, Conghuan Luo
Chiral algebras and topological defect lines (TDLs) represent two complementary notions of symmetry in 2d conformal field theories. In this paper, we introduce chiral tube algebras…
Descending into the Modular Bootstrap
Nathan Benjamin, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Wei Li +1
In this paper, we attempt to explore the landscape of two-dimensional conformal field theories (2d CFTs) by efficiently searching for numerical solutions to the modular bootstrap e…
Higher Eisenstein Series and a Duality-Invariant Distance Measure
Nathan Benjamin, A. Liam Fitzpatrick
The Petersson inner product is a natural inner product on the space of modular invariant functions. We derive a formula, written as a convergent sum over elementary functions, for…
Universal Asymptotics for High Energy CFT Data
Nathan Benjamin, Jaeha Lee, Hirosi Ooguri +1
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 determ…
Resurgence, Conformal Blocks, and the Sum over Geometries in Quantum Gravity
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney +1
In two dimensional conformal field theories the limit of large central charge plays the role of a semi-classical limit. Certain universal observables, such as conformal blocks invo…
