Vacuum Decay in CFT and the Riemann-Hilbert problem
Guilherme L. Pimentel, Alexander M. Polyakov, Grigory M. Tarnopolsky
We study vacuum stability in 1+1 dimensional Conformal Field Theories with external background fields. We show that the vacuum decay rate is given by a non-local two-form. This two…
Conformal QED, -Theorem and the Expansion
Simone Giombi, Igor R. Klebanov, Grigory Tarnopolsky
We calculate the free energies for gauge theories on the dimensional sphere of radius . For the theory with free Maxwell action we find the exact result as a func…
Generalized -Theorem and the Expansion
Lin Fei, Simone Giombi, Igor R. Klebanov +1
Some known constraints on Renormalization Group flow take the form of inequalities: in even dimensions they refer to the coefficient of the Weyl anomaly, while in odd dimension…
Critical Models in Dimensions and Higher Spin dS/CFT
Lin Fei, Simone Giombi, Igor R. Klebanov +1
Theories of anti-commuting scalar fields are non-unitary, but they are of interest both in statistical mechanics and in studies of the higher spin de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory…
