The 2d Free Boson Minkowski CFT with Asymptotic Charges
Nicholas Agia, Daniel L. Jafferis
We explicitly construct the states of the 2d free boson on the infinite line with specified asymptotic charges. The Minkowski CFT states derive from (the analytic continuation of)…

AdS String Stars at Pure NSNS Flux
Nicholas Agia, Daniel L. Jafferis
We study Horowitz-Polchinski string stars in pure AdS near the Hagedorn temperature using the technique of worldsheet conformal perturbation theory. Since the worldsheet CFT fo…

Angular Quantization in CFT
Nicholas Agia, Daniel L. Jafferis
The most common quantization scheme in which to study a conformal field theory is radial quantization, wherein a Hilbert space of states is defined on a sphere, whose Hamiltonian w…
