Exact Virasoro Blocks from Wilson Lines and Background-Independent Operators
A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Jared Kaplan, Daliang Li +1
Aspects of black hole thermodynamics and information loss can be derived as a consequence of Virasoro symmetry. To bolster the connection between Virasoro conformal blocks and AdS$…
Closure of the Operator Product Expansion in the Non-Unitary Bootstrap
Ilya Esterlis, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, David Ramirez
We use the numerical conformal bootstrap in two dimensions to search for finite, closed sub-algebras of the operator product expansion (OPE), without assuming unitarity. We find th…
Small Black Holes and Near-Extremal CFTs
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +2
Pure theories of AdS quantum gravity are conjectured to be dual to CFTs with sparse spectra of light primary operators. The sparsest possible spectrum consistent with modular i…
Universal Bounds on Charged States in 2d CFT and 3d Gravity
Nathan Benjamin, Ethan Dyer, A. Liam Fitzpatrick +1
We derive an explicit bound on the dimension of the lightest charged state in two dimensional conformal field theories with a global abelian symmetry. We find that the bound scales…
