From $Z$ to $a$ : High-temperature relations, subleading semi-universality, and conformal anomalies

Arnav Advant, Harsh Anand, Nathan Benjamin +6

The free energy of any CFT, $ln Z (β; ω_{i})$ , admits two expansions: high temperature ( $β \to 0$ ) and fast rotation ( $ω_{i} \to 1$ ). We demonstrate that in $4 d$ , 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…
