The c=1 String Theory S-Matrix Revisited
Bruno Balthazar, Victor A. Rodriguez, Xi Yin
We revisit the perturbative S-matrix of c=1 string theory from the worldsheet perspective. We clarify the origin of the leg pole factors, the non-analyticity of the string amplitud…
Genus Two Modular Bootstrap
Minjae Cho, Scott Collier, Xi Yin
We study the Virasoro conformal block decomposition of the genus two partition function of a two-dimensional CFT by expanding around a Z3-invariant Riemann surface that is a three-…
Bootstrapping the Spectral Function: On the Uniqueness of Liouville and the Universality of BTZ
Scott Collier, Petr Kravchuk, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
We introduce spectral functions that capture the distribution of OPE coefficients and density of states in two-dimensional conformal field theories, and show that nontrivial upper…
