Conformal defects and Goldstone bosons in Anti-de Sitter space
Lorenzo Bianchi, Elia de Sabbata, Marco Meineri
We study local quantum field theories in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, with boundary conditions that break some of the bulk isometries. Specifically, we focus on conformal defects an…
Continuous Family of Conformal Field Theories and Exactly Marginal Operators
Shota Komatsu, Yuya Kusuki, Marco Meineri +1
Does a conformal manifold imply the existence of exactly marginal operators? We answer this question affirmatively under the assumption that there exists a conformal interface with…
Demystifying integrable QFTs in AdS: No-go theorems for higher-spin charges
António Antunes, Nat Levine, Marco Meineri
Higher-spin conserved currents and charges feature prominently in integrable 2d QFTs in flat space. Motivated by the question of integrable field theories in AdS space, we consider…
A Bootstrap Study of Confinement in AdS
Lorenzo Di Pietro, Stefanos R. Kousvos, Marco Meineri +3
Yang-Mills theory in AdS with Dirichlet boundary conditions is expected to undergo a transition as the AdS radius varies, since the boundary data is incompatible with confine…
The Bootstrap of Points and Lines
Marco Meineri, Bharathkumar Radhakrishnan
We study two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with boundaries via the conformal bootstrap. We derive a positive semi-definite program from crossing symmetry of three obs…
