Properties of scalar partition functions of 2d CFTs
Nathan Benjamin, Cyuan-Han Chang, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We study the spectrum of scalar primary operators in any two-dimensional conformal field theory. We show that the scalars alone obey a nontrivial crossing equation. This extends pr…

Toolkit for General 2d Scalar Potential in LCT
A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Emanuel Katz, Yuan Xin
We present efficient algorithms for obtaining the Hamiltonian in Lightcone Conformal Truncation (LCT) for a 2d scalar field with a generic potential. We apply this method to the si…

Lightcone Hamiltonian for Ising Field Theory I: T < T_c
A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Emanuel Katz, Yuan Xin
We study 2d Ising Field Theory (IFT) in the low-temperature phase in lightcone quantization, and show that integrating out zero modes generates a very compact form for the effectiv…
