Shockwaves from the Operator Product Expansion
Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Thomas Hartman, Sandipan Kundu +1
We clarify and further explore the CFT dual of shockwave geometries in Anti-de Sitter. The shockwave is dual to a CFT state produced by a heavy local operator inserted at a complex…

Constraints on Higher Spin CFT
Nima Afkhami-Jeddi, Kale Colville, Thomas Hartman +2
We derive constraints on two-dimensional conformal field theories with higher spin symmetry due to unitarity, modular invariance, and causality. We focus on CFTs with $\mathcal{W}_…
