Infinite Symmetry Algebras in Four-Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
Elizabeth Himwich, Monica Pate
In generic interacting four-dimensional Lorentzian conformal field theories, an infinite set of universal light-ray operators constructed from the stress tensor is shown to generat…
Sphere free energy of scalar field theories with cubic interactions
Simone Giombi, Elizabeth Himwich, Andrei Katsevich +2
The dimensional continuation approach to calculating the free energy of -dimensional Euclidean CFT on the round sphere has been used to develop its expansion for a…
Light-ray Operators and the Algebra
Elizabeth Himwich, Monica Pate
A universal class of light-ray operators formed from null integrals of the stress tensor is constructed in generic interacting Lorentzian conformal field theories in four spacetime…
Generating Hodges' Graviton MHV Formula with an Ward Identity
Alfredo Guevara, Elizabeth Himwich, Noah Miller
Hodges' formula expresses the tree-level all-multiplicity Einstein gravity MHV amplitude as a matrix determinant. In this work, we prove that Hodges' determinant is generated by an…
Shadow Celestial Operator Product Expansions
Elizabeth Himwich, Monica Pate
The linearized massless wave equation in four-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes is known to admit two families of solutions that transform in highest-weight representation…
