Trace the Self-Gravitating Gas Using CO Isotopologues
Linjing Feng, Jingwen Wu, Sihan Jiao +12
Recent studies have shown that the star formation rate (SFR) correlates tightly and linearly with the mass of gravitationally bound gas, which can be delineated from the power-law…
New Exotic Operators in the Spectrum of Wilson Lines in General Representations
Daniele Artico, Carlo Meneghelli, Michele Savi +1
Wilson lines are fundamental probes of gauge theories. We show that, in sufficiently rich representations, they support a large new class of operator insertions. For half-BPS lines…
Analytical methods in Quantum Field Theories: from loop integrals to defect correlators
Daniele Artico
This thesis expands the available techniques at weak coupling by investigating the linear space of Feynman integrals and the role that (super)symmetry plays in reducing the number…
Perturbative bootstrap of the Wilson-line defect CFT: Bulk-defect-defect correlators
Daniele Artico, Julien Barrat, Yingxuan Xu
We study the correlators of bulk and defect half-BPS operators in Super Yang-Mills theory with a Maldacena-Wilson line defect, focusing on the case involving one bu…
Perturbative bootstrap of the Wilson-line defect CFT: Multipoint correlators
Daniele Artico, Julien Barrat, Giulia Peveri
We study the defect CFT associated with the half-BPS Wilson line in Super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. Using a perturbative bootstrap approach, we derive n…
