Mellin amplitudes for
Connor Behan, Rodrigo S. Pitombo
There are holographic superconformal theories in all dimensions between two and six which allow arbitrary tree-level four-point functions to be fixed by basic consistency condition…
Towards Bootstrapping F-theory
Connor Behan, Shai M. Chester, Pietro Ferrero
We consider type IIB string theory with D3 branes and various configurations of sevenbranes, such that the string coupling is fixed to a constant finite value. These are…
Analytic and numerical bootstrap for the long-range Ising model
Connor Behan, Edoardo Lauria, Maria Nocchi +1
We combine perturbation theory with analytic and numerical bootstrap techniques to study the critical point of the long-range Ising (LRI) model in two and three dimensions. This mo…
Gluon scattering in AdS at finite string coupling from localization
Connor Behan, Shai M. Chester, Pietro Ferrero
We consider gluons scattering in Type IIB string theory on AdS in the presence of D7 branes, which is dual to the flavor multiplet correlator in a certai…
Coupled minimal models revisited
António Antunes, Connor Behan
We study coupled unitary Virasoro minimal models in the large rank () limit. In large perturbation theory, we find two non-trivial IR fixed points which e…
Holographic S-fold theories at one loop
Connor Behan
A common feature of tree-level holography is that a correlator in one theory can serve as a generating function for correlators in another theory with less continuous symmetry. Thi…
Bootstrapping boundary-localized interactions II: Minimal models at the boundary
Connor Behan, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria +1
We provide evidence for the existence of non-trivial unitary conformal boundary conditions for a three-dimensional free scalar field, which can be obtained via a coupling to the m'…
Gluon Scattering in AdS from CFT
Luis F. Alday, Connor Behan, Pietro Ferrero +1
We present a systematic study of holographic correlators in a vast array of SCFTs with non-maximal superconformal symmetry. These theories include 4d SCFTs from D3-…
More on holographic correlators: Twisted and dimensionally reduced structures
Connor Behan, Pietro Ferrero, Xinan Zhou
Recently four-point holographic correlators with arbitrary external BPS operators were constructively derived in [1,2] at tree-level for maximally superconformal theories. In this…
Bootstrapping boundary-localized interactions
Connor Behan, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria +1
We study conformal boundary conditions for the theory of a single real scalar to investigate whether the known Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are the only possibilities. For this…
Bootstrapping the long-range Ising model in three dimensions
Connor Behan
The 3D Ising model and the generalized free scalar of dimension at least 0.75 belong to a continuous line of nonlocal fixed points, each referred to as a long-range Ising model. Th…
The unitary subsector of generalized minimal models
Connor Behan
We revisit the line of non-unitary theories that interpolate between the Virasoro minimal models. Numerical bootstrap applications have brought about interest in the four-point fun…
Conformal manifolds: ODEs from OPEs
Connor Behan
The existence of an exactly marginal deformation in a conformal field theory is very special, but it is not well understood how this is reflected in the allowed dimensions and OPE…
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…
PyCFTBoot: A flexible interface for the conformal bootstrap
Connor Behan
We introduce PyCFTBoot, a wrapper designed to reduce the barrier to entry in conformal bootstrap calculations that require semidefinite programming. Symengine and SDPB are used for…
Simplifying plasma balls and black holes with nonlinear diffusion
Connor Behan
In the Master's thesis of the author, we investigate certain aspects of gravitational physics that emerge from stochastic toy models of holographic gauge theories. We begin by revi…
Conformal blocks for highly disparate scaling dimensions
Connor Behan
We show that conformal blocks simplify greatly when there is a large difference between two of the scaling dimensions for external operators. In particular the spacetime dimension…
Energy trapping from Hagedorn densities of states
Connor Behan, Klaus Larjo, Nima Lashkari +2
In this note, we construct simple stochastic toy models for holographic gauge theories in which distributions of energy on a collection of sites evolve by a master equation with so…
On the density of states in a free CFT and finite volume corrections
Connor Behan
Results from spectral geometry such as Weyl's formula can be used to relate the thermodynamic properties of a free massless field to the spatial manifold on which it is defined. We…
