Local CFTs extremise

Ludo Fraser-Taliente

Many CFTs can be extended to lines of nonlocal CFTs parametrised by the scaling dimension of the fundamental field appearing in the action. is set by the expo…

Quantum field theories with many fields

Ludo Fraser-Taliente

The large- quantum field theories provide a window into the regime of strongly-coupled physics. Our principal object of study in this thesis is the large- family of melonic Q…

The of the conformal scalars

Kit Fraser-Taliente, Ludo Fraser-Taliente

We construct the unique primary energy-momentum tensor for the conformal free scalar with scaling dimension as a sum of Gegenbauer polynomials. For integer ,…

Four-point function of the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model at finite chemical potential

Can Onur Akyuz, Erick Arguello Cruz, Ludo Fraser-Taliente +1

It is known that, for a range of chemical potentials, the infrared behavior of the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (cSYK) model is governed by a 1D Nearly Conformal Field Theory (NCFT$_{…

The sphere free energy of the vector models to order

Ludo Fraser-Taliente

We calculate the large- expansion of the sphere free energy of the O(N) and the Gross-Neveu CFTs to order . Analytic regularization of…

-extremization determines certain large- CFTs

Ludo Fraser-Taliente, John Wheater

We show that the conformal data of a range of large- CFTs, the melonic CFTs, are specified by constrained extremization of the universal part of the sphere free energy $F=-\log…

A Nonlocal Schwinger Model

Ludovic Fraser-Taliente, Christopher P. Herzog, Abhay Shrestha

We solve a system of massless fermions constrained to two space-time dimensions interacting via a space-time dimensional Maxwell field. Through dimensional reduction to the def…

Melonic limits of the quartic Yukawa model and general features of melonic CFTs

Ludo Fraser-Taliente, John Wheater

We study a set of large- tensor field theories with a rich structure of fixed points, encompassing both the melonic and prismatic CFTs observed previously in the conformal limit…

Fundamental scaling relationships revealed in the optical light curves of tidal disruption events

Andrew Mummery, Sjoert van Velzen, Edward Nathan +4

We present fundamental scaling relationships between properties of the optical/UV light curves of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and the mass of the black hole that disrupted the s…

Lectures on Generalized Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Ludovic Fraser-Taliente +4

These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory. The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible symmet…
