Higher order conformal perturbation theory is studied for theories with and without boundaries. We identify systematically the universal quantities in the beta function equations, and we give explicit formulae for the universal coefficients at next-to-leading order in terms of integrated correlation functions. As an example, we analyse the radius-dependence of the conformal dimension of some boundary operators for the case of a single Neumann brane on a circle, and for an intersecting brane configuration on a torus, reproducing in both cases the expected geometrical answer.

  1. Higher Connection in Open String Field Theory

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-form higher Berry connection on boundary conformal manifolds is defined from boundary-condition-changing operator OPE phases; it reproduces the B-field and WZ term in string theory examples.

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a large-N 3D Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, the endpoint of the conformal window spontaneously breaks scale symmetry, producing a massless dilaton whose decay constant and induced mass obey a universal product formula.
