Semi-universality of CFT entropy at large spin
Harsh Anand, Nathan Benjamin, Vipul Kumar +4
The thermal partition function, , of a on is parameterized by the inverse temperature along with angular velocities . In this pap…
Generalized Symmetries and Deformations of Symmetric Product Orbifolds
Nathan Benjamin, Suzanne Bintanja, Yu-Jui Chen +3
We construct generalized symmetries in two-dimensional symmetric product orbifold CFTs for a generic seed CFT . These symmetries are more…
The Edge-Distinguishing Game
Nathaniel Benjamin, Elisa Benthem, Cooper Burkel +2
In this paper, we introduce a graph coloring game called the Edge-Distinguishing Game (EDGe). The edge-distinguishing chromatic number of a graph is used to determine the moves eac…
Properties of scalar partition functions of 2d CFTs
Nathan Benjamin, Cyuan-Han Chang, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We study the spectrum of scalar primary operators in any two-dimensional conformal field theory. We show that the scalars alone obey a nontrivial crossing equation. This extends pr…
Resurgence in Liouville Theory
Nathan Benjamin, Scott Collier, Alexander Maloney +1
Liouville conformal field theory is a prototypical example of an exactly solvable quantum field theory, in the sense that the correlation functions in an arbitrary background can b…
