Solving 3d Gravity with Virasoro TQFT
Scott Collier, Lorenz Eberhardt, Mengyang Zhang
We propose a precise reformulation of 3d quantum gravity with negative cosmological constant in terms of a topological quantum field theory based on the quantization of the Teichmü…
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…
S-duality in -deformed CFT
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Jorrit Kruthoff +2
deformed conformal field theories can be reformulated as worldsheet theories of non-critical strings. We use this correspondence to compute and study the defo…
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…
Universal Dynamics of Heavy Operators in CFT
Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney, Henry Maxfield +1
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the average value of the operator product expansion coefficients of any unitary, compact two dimensional CFT with . This formula is valid w…
Quantum Regge Trajectories and the Virasoro Analytic Bootstrap
Scott Collier, Yan Gobeil, Henry Maxfield +1
Every conformal field theory (CFT) above two dimensions contains an infinite set of Regge trajectories of local operators which, at large spin, asymptote to "double-twist" composit…
