New exotic operators appear on Wilson lines in general representations; their dimension-one superprimaries produce marginally relevant deformations of half-BPS defects in N=4 SYM, supported by a general weak-coupling four-point function.

abstract
For expansions in one-dimensional conformal blocks, we provide a rigorous link between the asymptotics of the spectral density of exchanged primaries and the leading singularity in the crossed channel. Our result has a direct application to systems of SL(2,R)-invariant correlators (also known as 1d CFTs). It also puts on solid ground a part of the lightcone bootstrap analysis of the spectrum of operators of high spin and bounded twist in CFTs in d>2. In addition, a similar argument controls the spectral density asymptotics in large N gauge theories.

Computes closed-form one-loop anomalous dimensions for all double-trace operators [φφ]_{n,ℓ} in Φ⁴ theory in AdS₃ for arbitrary n, ℓ and Δ_φ > 1.
Summing non-perturbative contributions in the gravitational path integral, extended via matrix integral saddles including one- and two-eigenvalue instantons, resolves negativity of bulk entropies in two-sided black holes.
Formulates an avatar of the Fyodorov-Hiary-Keating conjecture for black hole microstate counts, implying sharp bounds on CFT primary operator interval counts and suggesting that AdS spectra exhibit extreme value statistics of Gaussian log-correlated random matrices.
Derives universal first-order ODEs governing the RG flow of boundary operator data (scaling dimensions, OPE and BOE coefficients) for 2D QFTs on hyperbolic space.
Generalizes flow ODEs for QFT data in AdS3/AdS4, capturing operator merger-annihilation and level repulsion, with efficiency gains from crossing equations and Padé approximants.
