Discreteness and Integrality in Conformal Field Theory
Justin Kaidi, Eric Perlmutter
Various observables in compact CFTs are required to obey positivity, discreteness, and integrality. Positivity forms the crux of the conformal bootstrap, but understanding of the a…
Model-Dependence of Minimal-Twist OPEs in Holographic CFTs
A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Kuo-Wei Huang, David Meltzer +2
Following recent work on heavy-light correlators in higher-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with a large central charge , we clarify the properties of stress tensor…
Unitarity Methods in AdS/CFT
David Meltzer, Eric Perlmutter, Allic Sivaramakrishnan
We develop a systematic unitarity method for loop-level AdS scattering amplitudes, dual to non-planar CFT correlators, from both bulk and boundary perspectives. We identify cut ope…
Growing Extra Dimensions in AdS/CFT
Luis F. Alday, Eric Perlmutter
What is the dimension of spacetime? We address this question in the context of the AdS/CFT Correspondence. We give a prescription for computing the number of large bulk dimensions,…
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…
Genus-One String Amplitudes from Conformal Field Theory
Luis F. Alday, Agnese Bissi, Eric Perlmutter
We explore and exploit the relation between non-planar correlators in super-Yang-Mills, and higher-genus closed string amplitudes in type IIB string theory. By conform…
