First-order conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators
read the original abstract
We perform conformal perturbation theory by marginal operators to first order. A suitable renormalization method is needed that makes the conformal invariance of the deformed correlation functions manifest. Combining the embedding space formalism with the dimensional regularization, we explicitly check that the deformed and renormalized two and three point functions are conformally invariant.

$J\bar{J}$-deformation as a Riemann bilinear dressing
Reformulates J bar J deformation in CFTs as a Riemann bilinear dressing that converts perturbation theory into operator dressings and modular-invariant kernel integrals on Riemann surfaces.

$J\bar{J}$-deformation as a Riemann bilinear dressing
Reformulates J bar J deformation in CFTs as Riemann-bilinear operator dressing that preserves modular properties on Riemann surfaces and matches bare/renormalized perturbation theory.

Does hot QCD have a conformal manifold in the chiral limit?
An 't Hooft anomaly at general imaginary baryon chemical potential constrains the QCD chiral transition to three minimal CFT scenarios, with the favored one for N_f >= 3 featuring a conformal manifold of theta_B-depen...
