One- and two-dimensional higher-point conformal blocks as free-particle wavefunctions in AdS

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Sarthak Parikh +2

We establish that all of the one- and two-dimensional global conformal blocks are, up to some choice of prefactor, free-particle wavefunctions in tensor products of AdS or limi…

Decay of geometry for a class of cubic polynomials

Haoyang Ji, Wenxiu Ma

In this paper we study a class of bimodal cubic polynomials for which its critical points have the same -limit set which is an invariant Cantor set. These maps have generalized…

Conformal Bootstrap Equations from the Embedding Space Operator Product Expansion

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Valentina Prilepina +1

We describe how to implement the conformal bootstrap program in the context of the embedding space OPE formalism introduced in previous work. To take maximal advantage of the known…

Missing Corner in the Sky: Massless Three-Point Celestial Amplitudes

Chi-Ming Chang, Wen-Jie Ma

We present the first computation of three-point celestial amplitudes in Minkowski space of massless scalars, photons, gluons, and gravitons. Such amplitudes were previously conside…

Shadow Celestial Amplitude

Chi-Ming Chang, Wei Cui, Wen-Jie Ma +2

We study scattering amplitudes in the shadow conformal primary basis, which satisfies the same defining properties as the original conformal primary basis and has many advantages o…

Scattering bound states in AdS

Wen-Jie Ma, Xinan Zhou

We initiate the study of bound state scattering in AdS space at the level of Witten diagrams. For concreteness, we focus on the case with only scalar fields and analyze several bas…

Feynman Rules for Scalar Conformal Blocks

Jean-François Fortin, Sarah Hoback, Wen-Jie Ma +2

We complete the proof of "Feynman rules" for constructing -point conformal blocks with external and internal scalars in any topology for arbitrary in any spacetime dimension…

Conformal Conserved Currents in Embedding Space

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Valentina Prilepina +1

We study conformal conserved currents in arbitrary irreducible representations of the Lorentz group using the embedding space formalism. With the help of the operator product expan…

All Global One- and Two-Dimensional Higher-Point Conformal Blocks

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Witold Skiba

We introduce a full set of rules to directly express all -point conformal blocks in one- and two-dimensional conformal field theories, irrespective of the topology. The -poin…

Seven-Point Conformal Blocks in the Extended Snowflake Channel and Beyond

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Witold Skiba

Seven-point functions have two inequivalent topologies or channels. The comb channel has been computed previously and here we compute scalar conformal blocks in the extended snowfl…

Six-Point Conformal Blocks in the Snowflake Channel

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Witold Skiba

We compute -dimensional scalar six-point conformal blocks in the two possible topologies allowed by the operator product expansion. Our computation is a simple application of th…

Efficient Rules for All Conformal Blocks

Jean-François Fortin, Wen-Jie Ma, Valentina Prilepina +1

We formulate a set of general rules for computing -dimensional four-point global conformal blocks of operators in arbitrary Lorentz representations in the context of the embeddi…

Higher-Point Conformal Blocks in the Comb Channel

Jean-François Fortin, Wenjie Ma, Witold Skiba

We compute -point conformal blocks with scalar external and exchange operators in the so-called comb configuration for any in any dimension . Our computation involves rep…
