Bootstrapping boundary-localized interactions
Connor Behan, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria +1
We study conformal boundary conditions for the theory of a single real scalar to investigate whether the known Dirichlet and Neumann conditions are the only possibilities. For this…
Landau diagrams in AdS and S-matrices from conformal correlators
Shota Komatsu, Miguel F. Paulos, Balt C. van Rees +1
Quantum field theories in AdS generate conformal correlation functions on the boundary, and in the limit where AdS is nearly flat one should be able to extract an S-matrix from suc…
Line and surface defects for the free scalar field
Edoardo Lauria, Pedro Liendo, Balt C. van Rees +1
For a single free scalar field in dimensions, almost all the unitary conformal defects must be `trivial' in the sense that they cannot hold interesting dynamics. The onl…
Applications of Alpha Space
Daniel Rutter, Balt C. van Rees
We extend the definition of alpha space as introduced in [1] to two spacetime dimensions. We discuss how this can be used to find conformal block decompositions of known functions…
