We discuss c≤3 topological Landau-Ginzburg models. In particular we give the potential for the three exceptional models E6,7,8 in the constant metric coordinates of coupling constant space and derive the generating function F for correlation functions. For the c=3 torus cases with one marginal deformation and relevant perturbations, we derive and solve the differential equation resulting from flatness of coupling constant space. We perform the transformation to constant metric coordinates and calculate the generating function F. Comparing the three-point correlation functions with those of orbifold superconformal field theory, we find agreement. We finally demonstrate that the differential equations derived from flatness of coupling constant space are the same as the ones satisfied by the periods of the tori.

Spinor Current

Abstract We consider $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal field theories in four dimensions possessing an additional conserved spinor current multiplet Sα and study three-point functions involving such an operator. A conserved spinor current multiplet naturally exists in superconformal theories with $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetry and contains the current of the second supersymmetry. However, we do not assume $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetry. We show that the three-point function of two spinor current multiplets and the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supercurrent depends on three independent tensor structures and, in general, is not contained in the three-point function of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supercurrent. It then follows, based on symmetry considerations only, that the existence of one more Grassmann odd current multiplet in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal field theory does not necessarily imply $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal symmetry.

Abstract We develop the numerical bootstrap technique to study the 2 + 1 dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFTs). When applied to the minimal $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 SCFT, it allows us to determine its critical exponents to high precision. This model was argued in [1] to describe a quantum critical point (QCP) at the boundary of a 3 + 1D topological superconductor. More interestingly, this QCP can be reached by tuning a single parameter, where supersymmetry (SUSY) is realized as an emergent symmetry. We show that the emergent SUSY condition also plays an essential role in bootstrapping this SCFT. But performing a “two-sided” Padé re-summation of the large N expansion series, we calculate the critical exponents for Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models at N =4 and N =8.

Chapter 32 expounded the basic theory of quantum LB for the case of relativistic and non-relativistic wavefunctions, namely single-particle quantum mechanics. This chapter goes on to cover extensions of the quantum LB formalism to the overly challenging arena of quantum many-body problems and quantum field theory, along with an appraisal of prospective quantum computing implementations. Solving the single particle Schrodinger, or Dirac, equation in three dimensions is a computationally demanding task. This task, however, pales in front of the ordeal of solving the Schrodinger equation for the quantum many-body problem, namely a collection of many quantum particles, typically nuclei and electrons in a given atom or molecule.

Abstract We present a method for calculating event shapes in QCD based on correlation functions of conserved currents. The method has been previously applied to the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, but we demonstrate that supersymmetry is not essential. As a proof of concept, we consider the simplest example of a charge-charge correlation at one loop (leading order). We compute the correlation function of four electromagnetic currents and explain in detail the steps needed to extract the event shape from it. The result is compared to the standard amplitude calculation. The explicit four-point correlation function may also be of interest for the CFT community.

Abstract We study the correlation functions of Coulomb branch operators of four-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs). We focus on rank-one theories, such as the SU(2) gauge theory with four fundamental hypermultiplets. “Extremal” correlation functions, involving exactly one anti-chiral operator, are perhaps the simplest nontrivial correlation functions in four-dimensional Quantum Field Theory. We show that the large charge limit of extremal correlators is captured by a “dual” description which is a chiral random matrix model of the Wishart-Laguerre type. This gives an analytic handle on the physics in some particular excited states. In the limit of large random matrices we find the physics of a non-relativistic axion-dilaton effective theory. The random matrix model also admits a ’t Hooft expansion in which the matrix is taken to be large and simultaneously the coupling is taken to zero. This explains why the extremal correlators of SU(2) gauge theory obey a nontrivial double scaling limit in states of large charge. We give an exact solution for the first two orders in the ’t Hooft expansion of the random matrix model and compare with expectations from effective field theory, previous weak coupling results, and we analyze the non-perturbative terms in the strong ’t Hooft coupling limit. Finally, we apply the random matrix theory techniques to study extremal correlators in rank-1 Argyres-Douglas theories. We compare our results with effective field theory and with some available numerical bootstrap bounds.
