On Rational Points in CFT Moduli Spaces
Nathan Benjamin, Christoph A. Keller, Hirosi Ooguri +1
Motivated by the search for rational points in moduli spaces of two-dimensional conformal field theories, we investigate how points with enhanced symmetry algebras are distributed…
On the Spectrum of Pure Higher Spin Gravity
Luis F. Alday, Jin-Beom Bae, Nathan Benjamin +1
We study the spectrum of pure massless higher spin theories in . The light spectrum is given by a tower of massless particles of spin and their multi-particle…
Pure Gravity and Conical Defects
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney
We revisit the spectrum of pure quantum gravity in AdS. The computation of the torus partition function will -- if computed using a gravitational path integral that includes on…
Lessons from the Ramond sector
Nathan Benjamin, Ying-Hsuan Lin
We revisit the consistency of torus partition functions in (1+1) fermionic conformal field theories, combining traditional ingredients of modular invariance/covariance with a mo…
Twist Gap and Global Symmetry in Two Dimensions
Nathan Benjamin, Hirosi Ooguri, Shu-Heng Shao +1
We show that every compact, unitary two-dimensional CFT with an abelian conserved current has vanishing twist gap for charged primary fields with respect to the $\mathfrak{u}(1)\ti…
Minimal Models: A Holographic Needle in a Symmetric Orbifold Haystack
Alexandre Belin, Nathan Benjamin, Alejandra Castro +2
We explore large- symmetric orbifolds of the minimal models, and find evidence that their moduli spaces each contain a supergravity point. We identify single-trac…
