The conformal bootstrap: Theory, numerical techniques, and applications
Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the fascinating universal physics
of scale invariant critical points. They describe continuous phase transitions in fluids …

Symmetries in quantum field theory and quantum gravity
In this paper we use the AdS/CFT correspondence to refine and then establish a set of old
conjectures about symmetries in quantum gravity. We first show that any global symmetry …

Analyticity in spin in conformal theories
S Caron-Huot - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Conformal theory correlators are characterized by the spectrum and three-point
functions of local operators. We present a formula which extracts this data as an analytic …

Bootstrapping inflationary correlators in Mellin space
A bstract We develop a Mellin space approach to boundary correlation functions in anti-de

From locality and unitarity to cosmological correlators
S Jazayeri, E Pajer, D Stefanyszyn - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract In the standard approach to deriving inflationary predictions, we evolve a vacuum
state in time according to the rules of a given model. Since the only observables are the …
