General Properties of Multiscalar RG Flows in
Slava Rychkov, Andreas Stergiou
Fixed points of scalar field theories with quartic interactions in dimensions are considered in full generality. For such theories it is known that there exists a…
Walking, Weak first-order transitions, and Complex CFTs
Victor Gorbenko, Slava Rychkov, Bernardo Zan
We discuss walking behavior in gauge theories and weak first-order phase transitions in statistical physics. Despite appearing in very different systems (QCD below the conformal wi…
Walking, Weak first-order transitions, and Complex CFTs II. Two-dimensional Potts model at
Victor Gorbenko, Slava Rychkov, Bernardo Zan
We study complex CFTs describing fixed points of the two-dimensional -state Potts model with . Their existence is closely related to the weak first-order phase transition a…
The Conformal Bootstrap: Theory, Numerical Techniques, and Applications
David Poland, Slava Rychkov, Alessandro Vichi
Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the fascinating universal physics of scale invariant critical points. They describe continuous phase transitions in fluids…
