holographic conformal field theories. The problem of finding it reduces to the analysis of the …

Gravitational orbits, double-twist mirage, and many-body scars

M Dodelson, A Zhiboedov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We explore the implications of stable gravitational orbits around an AdS black hole
for the boundary conformal field theory. The orbits are long-lived states that eventually decay …

Holography and correlation functions of huge operators: spacetime bananas

J Abajian, F Aprile, RC Myers, P Vieira - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer

potential and angular momenta using holography respectively. We consider the field …

Thermalization in large-N CFTs

R Karlsson, A Parnachev, P Tadić - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
In d-dimensional CFTs with a large number of degrees of freedom an important set of
operators consists of the stress tensor and its products, multi stress tensors. Thermalization …

Embedding formalism for CFTs in general states on curved backgrounds

E Parisini, K Skenderis, B Withers - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present a generalization of the embedding space formalism to conformal field theories
(CFTs) on nontrivial states and curved backgrounds, based on the ambient metric of …

More on heavy-light bootstrap up to double-stress-tensor

YZ Li, HY Zhang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the heavy-light four-point function up to double-stress-tensor,
supplementing 1910.06357. By using the OPE coefficients of lowest-twist double-stress …

On local and integrated stress-tensor commutators

M Besken, J De Boer, G Mathys - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We discuss some general aspects of commutators of local operators in Lorentzian
CFTs, which can be obtained from a suitable analytic continuation of the Euclidean operator …
