Derives universal quadratic response of 3D CFT free energy to S^3 squashing proportional to c_T and constructs thermal effective action for high-T Seifert manifolds with explicit Wilson coefficients.
Thermal inversion formulas produce asymptotically accurate CFT data for heavy operators that remains reliable at intermediate dimensions and survives first-order bulk interactions.
Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.
A resource theory for strong symmetry breaking is formulated, with the variance of the conserved quantity characterizing its asymptotic manipulation for U(1) symmetry and enabling tracking of weak-to-strong conversion in open systems.
CFTs with broken continuous global symmetry on the moduli space require a tower of charged local operators whose scaling dimensions are asymptotically linear in the charge.
High-energy CFT and black-hole interval counts are conjectured to obey the FHK extreme-value law; the resulting O(1) erratic fluctuations limit semiclassical AdS precision to e^{-S0}.
Leading coefficients of the thermal effective action for the large-N critical O(N) vector model in 3D with twist are computed via twisted partition function on S2 and path-integral methods, yielding consistent results.
Establishes correspondence between flat, thermal, and defect conformal partial waves via shadow formalism, obtaining thermal blocks from flat four-point and defect two-point functions and reducing the Casimir equation diagonally.
Proposes that AdS3 gravity at finite cutoff is dual to a CFT2 coupled to timelike Liouville theory deformed by a marginal operator, with checks via semiclassical partition functions and EOM matching.
Thermal partition functions of conformal higher-derivative and higher-spin fields develop universal poles in (1-|ω_i|) in the semi-universal limit, with residues sensitive to negative-twist states, verified via mode sums and operator counting and reproduced from AdS5.
Authors introduce an observable measuring non-locality properties of symmetry operators that encodes fusion algebra information for a class of examples in QFT.
Lectures summarizing the construction of hydrodynamic EFTs through strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, with examples from spin chains to relativistic QFTs and UV/IR constraints on transport coefficients.
