TASI Lectures on the Conformal Bootstrap
David Simmons-Duffin
These notes are from courses given at TASI and the Advanced Strings School in summer 2015. Starting from principles of quantum field theory and the assumption of a traceless stress…
A Semidefinite Program Solver for the Conformal Bootstrap
David Simmons-Duffin
We introduce SDPB: an open-source, parallelized, arbitrary-precision semidefinite program solver, designed for the conformal bootstrap. SDPB significantly outperforms less speciali…
Quark and Lepton Flavor Physics from F-Theory
Lisa Randall, David Simmons-Duffin
Recent work on local F-theory models shows the potential for new categories of flavor models. In this paper we investigate the perturbative effective theory interpretation of this…
Assessing Alternatives for Directional Detection of a WIMP Halo
Craig J. Copi, Lawrence M. Krauss, David Simmons-Duffin +1
The future of direct terrestrial WIMP detection lies on two fronts: new, much larger low background detectors sensitive to energy deposition, and detectors with directional sensiti…
