Thermal Double-Twist Data in Holography
V. Niarchos, C. Papageorgakis, A. Stratoudakis
We explain how to extract thermal OPE coefficients of double-twist operators in scalar two-point functions at infinite spatial volume from suitably regularized integrals of thermal…
Efficient Conformal Block Evaluation with GoBlocks
James Chryssanthacopoulos, Vasilis Niarchos, Constantinos Papageorgakis +1
Conformal blocks in odd spacetime dimensions are not known in closed analytic form. To facilitate efficient computations in the conformal bootstrap, we introduce $\texttt{GoBlocks}…
Neural Networks, Dispersion Relations and the Thermal Bootstrap
Vasilis Niarchos, Constantinos Papageorgakis
We review a framework for the conformal bootstrap that does not rely on positivity and treats the infinite tower of high-dimension OPE contributions to conformal correlators throug…
When Does Critique Improve AI-Assisted Theoretical Physics? SCALAR: Structured Critic--Actor Loop for Agentic Reasoning
Vasilis Niarchos, Constantinos Papageorgakis, Alexander G. Stapleton +1
As large language models (LLMs) show increasing promise on research-level physics reasoning tasks and agentic AI becomes more common, a practical question emerges: How does the int…
Deep Finite Temperature Bootstrap
V. Niarchos, C. Papageorgakis, A. Stratoudakis +1
We introduce a novel method to bootstrap crossing equations in Conformal Field Theory and apply it to finite temperature theories on . The proposed appr…
