Hydrodynamic tails in chaotic spin chains with quantum group symmetry

Luca V. Delacretaz, Victor Gorbenko, Jiaozi Wang +2

The interplay between symmetry and thermalization governs the late-time dynamics of local quantum and classical many-body systems at nonzero temperature. Recently, two parallel fro…

On the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the limit of integer spacetime dimensions

Bernardo Zan

The Wilson-Fisher fixed point defines a continuous family of interacting conformal field theories in non-integer dimensions. In integer dimensions, it is widely believed to lie in…

Phase Diagram of the Two-Flavor Schwinger Model at Zero Temperature

Ross Dempsey, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu +2

We examine the phase structure of the two-flavor Schwinger model as a function of the -angle and the two masses, and . In particular, we find interesting effects at $…

Discrete Chiral Symmetry and Mass Shift in Lattice Hamiltonian Approach to Schwinger Model

Ross Dempsey, Igor R. Klebanov, Silviu S. Pufu +1

We revisit the lattice formulation of the Schwinger model using the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian approach with staggered fermions. This model, introduced by Banks et al., contains th…

The Prepotential and the Sphere Free Energy

Bernardo Zan, Daniel Z. Freedman, Silviu S. Pufu

We study the mass-deformed sphere free energy of three-dimensional superconformal field theories with holographic duals. Building on previous observations, we con…

The Holographic Contributions to the Sphere Free Energy

Damon J. Binder, Daniel Z. Freedman, Silviu S. Pufu +1

We study which bulk couplings contribute to the free energy of three-dimensional superconformal field theories with holographic duals, potent…

Two-dimensional O(n) models and logarithmic CFTs

Victor Gorbenko, Bernardo Zan

We study O(n)-symmetric two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) for a continuous range of n below two. These CFTs describe the fixed point behavior of self-avoiding loops.…

A functional approach to the numerical conformal bootstrap

Miguel F. Paulos, Bernardo Zan

We apply recently constructed functional bases to the numerical conformal bootstrap for 1D CFTs. We argue and show that numerical results in this basis converge much faster than th…

Walking, Weak first-order transitions, and Complex CFTs

Victor Gorbenko, Slava Rychkov, Bernardo Zan

We discuss walking behavior in gauge theories and weak first-order phase transitions in statistical physics. Despite appearing in very different systems (QCD below the conformal wi…

Walking, Weak first-order transitions, and Complex CFTs II. Two-dimensional Potts model at

Victor Gorbenko, Slava Rychkov, Bernardo Zan

We study complex CFTs describing fixed points of the two-dimensional -state Potts model with . Their existence is closely related to the weak first-order phase transition a…

A scaling theory for the long-range to short-range crossover and an infrared duality

Connor Behan, Leonardo Rastelli, Slava Rychkov +1

We study the second-order phase transition in the -dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions decreasing as a power of the distance . For below some kno…

Long-range critical exponents near the short-range crossover

Connor Behan, Leonardo Rastelli, Slava Rychkov +1

The -dimensional long-range Ising model, defined by spin-spin interactions decaying with the distance as the power , admits a second order phase transition with conti…

Non-gaussianity of the critical 3d Ising model

Slava Rychkov, David Simmons-Duffin, Bernardo Zan

We discuss the 4pt function of the critical 3d Ising model, extracted from recent conformal bootstrap results. We focus on the non-gaussianity Q - the ratio of the 4pt function to…

Conformal Invariance in the Long-Range Ising Model

Miguel F. Paulos, Slava Rychkov, Balt C. van Rees +1

We consider the question of conformal invariance of the long-range Ising model at the critical point. The continuum description is given in terms of a nonlocal field theory, and th…
