Bootstrapping Euclidean Two-point Correlators

Minjae Cho, Barak Gabai, Henry W. Lin +2

We develop a bootstrap approach to Euclidean two-point correlators, in the thermal or ground state of quantum mechanical systems. We formulate the problem of bounding the two-point…

Yang-Mills Flux Tube in AdS II: Effective String Theory

Barak Gabai, Victor Gorbenko, Bendeguz Offertaler

We continue the study of flux tubes in confining gauge theories placed in a rigid AdS background, focusing on the three-dimensional case. Our analysis is performed in the large-rad…

Yang-Mills Flux Tube in AdS

Barak Gabai, Victor Gorbenko, Jiaxin Qiao

We initiate the study of flux tubes in confining gauge theories placed in a rigid AdS background, which serves as an infrared regulator. Varying the AdS radius from large to small…

On the Flux Sectors of Matrix String Theory

Minjae Cho, Barak Gabai, Jaroslav Scheinpflug +1

We analyze the gapped flux vacua of 2D (8,8) SU(N) super-Yang-Mills theory. Based on the matrix string theory duality, we conjecture the spectrum of massive resonances in the gauge…

Quantum Groups as Global Symmetries II. Coulomb Gas Construction

Barak Gabai, Victor Gorbenko, Jiaxin Qiao +2

We study a conformal field theory that arises in the infinite-volume limit of a spin chain with global symmetry. Most operators in the theory are defect-ending operator…

Universal Constraints for Conformal Line Defects

Barak Gabai, Amit Sever, De-liang Zhong

We present a novel framework for deriving integral constraints for correlators on conformal line defects. These constraints emerge from the non-linearly realized ambient-space conf…
